A Scientist and the Economist

By The Daily Dish

May 22 2007, 8:03 AM ET

He's not happy:

There are a number of reasons that this particular article irritated me. The tone was condescending - the Economist was lecturing at biologists. The article's thesis is supported by nothing more than bald assertions. The article operates from the entirely unsubstantiated presumption that scientists in my discipline are routinely being dishonest. The article is also largely wrong.

Great magazine though.
