Looks like I'm going to be sitting on a panel with Wesley Clark—he's on the climate change bandwagon.

Random Quote
(Complete listing)Regularity in Nature is not proof of the control of Nature by a Divine intelligence; it is rather the reverse. If something- call it matter, or ether, or x - exists, it must operate in accordance with its innate qualities; and so long as this x remains uncontrolled, its manifestations will continue unchallenged- in other words, there will be "order". The same causes, the same results. That is the manifest signs of a natural "order" that knows nothing of God.
[Chapman Cohen]

Shouldn't the science panel have practicing scientists? Or are big names and popular writers more important? I guess I'm not clear what their goals are.
PS. The cookie problem is still in effect.

RPM,
In my years at college I've found that scientists discussing their specialty are so far beyond anyone who is listening that their talk is almost worthless. It's better to have scientists interested in making their view understandable on publicly viewed panels. PZ is a master at this. Go pirates!

Sorry PZ, I guess you are chopped liver. Just look at the bright side. This is a wonderful opportunity to bring cephlapod porn to a wider audience.

No, you count. In fact, you look like Joe Nobel Prize next to the other four. I think it's important to have both scientist and other folks involved. The arena is already open to the other folks -- they should involve the scientists as well.
