I think our manual is the one with the one with the baby-eating and the Global Scientific Conspiracy membership requirements.
I was having trouble deciding what to cook for supper tonight until I read this post. Thanks dude.
(emphasis mine)
Make sure you marinate for at least 2 hours.
I like using Worcestershire sauce or even steak rub for extra seasoning.
Yes, it's disgustingly raw. Health and safety standards anyone?
Gross, isn't it?

That baby looks very flat... Perhaps from a fall?!!?!?!
Arguments over one experiment hardly throw all of science into disarray. Kettlewell's experiments remain well supported and well evidenced despite the critiques levied against him- remember, this story is 12 years old. The scientists involved all support evolutionary biology, Jerry Coyne has been a vicious critic of all forms of religion and yet, they were in all likelihood wrong about Kettlewell's moths. You get people like this in science who, despite the majority opinion and majority of data, disagree. Alan Feduccia is another good example, off the top of my head. Very good biologist, disagrees with the prevailing notion that dinosaurs evolved into birds, and will defend that to the death. Universally considered very, very wrong at this point.
Yes, getting things published, ESPECIALLY controversial things is difficult. That's just par for course. If you don't have the necessary context to understand what the disagreement is over, you very well may think that these arguments throw everything into question... but they don't. Read the papers, go to the primary literature. Otherwise you're just crying 'HELP HELP THE SCIENTISTS ARE OPPRESSING PEOPLE' without any real evidence. Data is not kept at bay- it's pretty accessible if you look.
Amazon.com: Used and New: Evolutionary Biology
Here is a first edition of the book I was discussing on evolution. It is $2.74 plus shipping. It has the data in it and it offers citations to look up the primary literature that it uses to support it. I can vouch for Futuyma, he's a very good researcher and a very good writer, a rare combination.
ROFL!
This made me laugh so loudly!
Thank you Jro, a very nice post.... helpful... honest... informative. Very nice. I might even get that book.
I was wondering if you saw the new article I posted. It is my goal here to post different "issues" occasionally and I just posted one again #308 on June 2nd. Thanks again for your post.
Glad you liked it. For further reading, here's Kettlewell's original paper on Biston betularia- http://www.nature.com/hdy/journal/v9/n3/pdf/hdy195536a.pdf
FO' FREE!
Would you mind linking me to the other articles you've posted? I'd gladly read them, but I don't relish the thought of going through the whole thread. Is there some way to hit a 'go to #308'?
Thanks! Is there a way to do that really quickly so that I don't have to bug people next time? Or just elbow grease?

It's a good question that I think deserves an answer. I'll look forward to a response.
Don't breathe deep and hold... not a good idea.... cause I'm not answering that question just for the reason it doesn't deserve an answer.
