What missing link?
The lay press is full of stories about a new missing-link fossil that shows how animals made the transition from the sea to land. The Nature news link here and the papers here and here
 So, anyone think this will change anyone's mind? I'm torn between being excited for the new find and depressed upon the realization that it's only convincing evidence to those of us in the reality-based community. Similarly, people in the reality-based community are probably excited to see the cervical cancer vaccine is highly efficacious according to clinical trials ongoing for 4 1/2 years, but I remain depressed because I know right-wingers will vilify this vaccine as "the sex vaccine" and prevent its widespread use in our country. Even if it can prevent the spread of HPV, possibly be used to eliminate it from the human population, and prevent about 5000 deaths from cervical cancer a year. *sigh* |
