It isn't their job to care. The job of a citizen is to elect officials to act in his or her (the citizen's) best interest. Another way of looking at it: regulations are a noisy approximation of how much people "care".

That's not the way the law works though. You don't get to decide which ones are worth following.

If that's true, then there are lots of genuinely bad people wandering the streets of the Netherlands. If that's true then either 1) they're doing terrible things all the time and the state just isn't doing anything about

This is a false equivalency. The job of the media is not to present the two sides of every story equally.

The issue is that medicine is not air travel. For example, if an airplane doesn't pass safety checks that plane doesn't fly. What is the equivalent in the ER? Furthermore, because of the way planes are engineered, (and because o

That's not a good way to understand the problem. For any particular medical field, that number of new drugs is going to be much lower.

I used to work in molecular epidemiology for a few years and while that never included nutrition, I did become close friends with some of the best minds on the topic. The scientific establishment was not wrong about the danger of high fat

To whom is an apology owed, by whom, and for what? The best science at the time indicated that saturated fats were killing people(which was true), and so public advocacy groups lead campaigns to lower the consumption of saturated fats. It

I would say if Carlos Bustamante or Stephen Montgomery are ever giving a talk to the public to check them out. They're both based out of Stanford Med, but their research touches on tracing Human demographic history. If she's still

That Daviswiki allows for the accumulation of institutional knowledge from the student's perspective is just one of the things that makes it such a valuable resource. I learned so much more about the history and culture of the town an

Nice example of Betteridge's law[0] here. While as a biologist, I am supremely aware that plausible biological mechanism alone shouldn't be sufficient to drive public policy, UV induced DNA damage causing melanoma is one of the b

My undergraduate senior project was on the interaction between breast milk and microbial ecology in infants, so I can appreciate the difficulty of protein phylogenetics in non eukaryotic organisms. I think it's still important to unde

I'm still not sure what the argument is that you're making, or who you are accusing, and of what. Minute details tend only to be relevant in niche fields. Isn't the study of minute details what makes them niche fields? When

Still no. You'd be hard pressed to find any biologists left that would argue that discrete taxa exist, but whether or not humans are more closely related to chimps or gorillas is superbly knowable and certainly not "bullshit&quot

If you find phylogeny to be "bullshit", your biology and microbiology professors have truly failed you. Evolution by natural selection has produced the wonderful diversity that is life. Phylogenetic reconstruction is the tool bi

Is there a factual claim made you take issue with? I'm having trouble understanding how the sponsorship of a personal injury law firm discredits what's said in the piece. Are you implying that these lawyers actually believe antibiotic use

The point of affirmative action is not to get people out of the farming business. My grandmother took a cruise ship across the atlantic once, but I wouldn't compare that to the second passage.
