Bending Science and Scientific Truths

We talked about genetic modification in class today - flounder genes in tomatoes? ack! - and I thought I'd post a link to this very informative GMO watchdog organisation's website. If you're just starting to read about GMOs, and even otherwise really, the group also has a very good, and short but comprehensive primer on GM issues.

A couple of blogs that I visit regularly and that often try to remind people about what scientists actually think, whether about about hybrid embryos or the universe, are Pharyngula and Bad Astronomy. Both are written by scientists.
