The Science Debate 2008 initiative (which we blogged about earlier) has prompted Janet Stemwedel at Adventures in Ethics and Science, Coturnix at A Blog Around the Clock, and Zuska at Thus Spake Zuska to suggest questions to be asked at a presidential science debate. Iâm sure there are many other bloggers whoâve posed questions, but I havenât gotten through everything in my RSS reader this week â so, if you know of a related blog post that's worth checking out, please post a link in the comments.
