...Stein vs. Darwin Here we go again: Ben Stein, a really bad scientist and mediocre economist, feels intelligent-design proponents have been slighted [April 21]. I will state the point again: scientists are uncomfortable with I.D. because it is a warm, fuzzy belief unprovable by any scientific method. Maybe Stein would like to propose a scientific methodology to prove I.D. It would have to be a doozy. Roy Senn, New Hartford, New York...

...especially the stuff circulating on the Internet, was scurrilous trash. But there is an immutable pedestrian reality to American politics: you have to get the social body language right if you want voters to consider the nobler reaches of your message. In his 1991 book, The Reasoning Voter, political scientist Samuel Popkin argued that most people make their choice on the basis of "low-information signaling" - that is, stupid things like whether you know how to roll a bowling ball or wear an American-flag pin. In the era of Republican dominance, the low-information signals were really...
...Pavlos Protopapas, a senior scientist at the IIC, said the slow-down in funding has hampered his projects, forcing him to rely on outside support. He added that the Initiative’s non-faculty members, like him, had been encouraged to pair up with faculty to get funding...
...Scientist Amit Lal and his team insert mechanical components into baby bugs during "the caterpillar and the pupae stages," which would then allow the adult bugs to be deployed to do the Pentagon's bidding. "The HI-MEMS program is aimed at developing tightly coupled machine-insect interfaces by placing micro-mechanical systems inside the insects during the early stages of metamorphosis," DARPA says. "Since a majority of the tissue development in insects occurs in the later stages of metamorphosis, the renewed tissue growth around the MEMS will tend to heal, and form a reliable and stable tissue-machine interface...
