        @calestous I considered your tweet for two seconds and I have to say no, based on the fact that I really need coffee right now.

        @maliniw90th Many judges educate themselves about science though they don't rule of scientific matters as often as journalists.

        @calestous also I wish journalists would think of themselves as transcribers of history/ science rather than opinion makers. :)

        @WaterVole I view science as a system of thought and action not a cornucopia of answers. That is for religion.
