There is a big article on stem cell research in National Geographic this month.
Which begs the question: why is there an article on stem cell research in National Geographic? :wtf Is it some kind of political statement?
The amount of editorializing in the magazine is getting noticable. Recently, they had an article about grey/snow owls, and an afterword from the author stating how evil people are and how they are killing the owls- in direct contradiction to the scientific evidence that shows that the owl population is currently growing and thriving. (He also cited this in his column!) To their credit, the readers have been calling the magazine out in the letters column and the the mag has been responding to them.
Another political front, this time in one of my fav. magazines.
