I thought you might want to see this article that we ran this morning.

Scientists working at the Biologic Institute are trying to disprove the theory of evolution. The article has an inside look at the institute and the people who work there, although the journalist initially got a cold reception;

“”We only see people with appointments,” states the man who finally responds to my persistent knocks. Then he slams the door on me.”

The institute’s staff include an ex postdoctoral fellow from Harvard University, which seems like a a waste to me.

Obviously you guys are doing a great job! Wouldn't if be fun to carry a big stack of New Scientist around London and ask if people want a free copy in exchange for a little chit chat about science and how it relates to their lives? :) Matthew: Hi there!

I think that's our aim here at New Scientist; to inform, intrigue and provoke conversation. I'll send this around to the office. Matt (Web Executive, New Scientist) What a great post.

She was amazed that, as a student, I was so interested in the subject. It's kind of sad, in a way, that we are so amazed when we run into others that share a passion for science and the natural world. It says a lot about the place of academia in society today.
