Sometimes, University of Maryland physicist Bob Park has an uncanny knack for hitting every week’s science and society issues right on their collective head. This week is an excellent example. “Just go and read all his comments”:http://bobpark.physics.umd.edu/WN05/wn090205.html. From women’s health and the growingly arbitrary definition of “life”, to the irrefutable proof of evolution from the sequencing of the chimpanzee’s genome, to the need for a science advisor for this President, Bob hit it all. Why do I even blog?
