JCI on defending science education

Category: General biology • Intelligent design/creationism
Posted on: May 3, 2006 1:30 PM, by Tara C. Smith

Andrea over at Pandas Thumb highlights a new JCI article with a call to action for scientists.

The Journal of Clinical Investigation is a top-notch journal, and their editors seem to "get it." They wrote an editorial last year which I discussed here (moved over from the old blog) discussing intelligent design, and why more scientists should pay attention to it. Good that they're continuing the effort by publishing this new paper.
