I think I am in love with her. This is so cute.
I got nagged at today about the way I tell clients about procedures.
Apparently describing implanting a microchip like this:
“They take a huge needle and shove it inbetween the shoulder blades. It definitely pinches.”
Is innapropiate. And too “graphic.”
Prompted by Michael B. Berkman and Eric Plutzer’s recent column in Science deploring “a pervasive reluctance of teachers to forthrightly explain evolutionary biology,” Popular Mechanics asked Bill Nye for his reaction. “It’s horrible,” Nye replied.
Nye was particularly concerned with the characterization of evolution as “just a theory,” arguing, “People make flu vaccinations that stop people from getting sick. Farmers raise crops with science; they hybridize them and make them better with every generation. That’s all evolution. Evolution is a theory, and it’s a theory that you can test. We’ve tested evolution in many ways. You can’t present good evidence that says evolution is not a fact.”
