Haha what losers — as if the BBC reports science well in any way shape or form. The norm = very badly reported.

Also ppl even within science, between fields for example, can be very very uneducated. I know ppl w/in cog/neuro sci who think GMO = evil.

And whats with all the researchers bashing peer review? Is no one reviewing themselves?
