Evolution & what not
Hi,
this is not directly related to this show, but I found no other place to drop it. I would be curious on your opinion. I just watched the answers of 51 Miss USA on the question should evolution be taught at school (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkBmhM0R2A0). And I was shocked!
Only 2 models (more or less) were pro evolution and only one differentiated at least a little between what the differences between evolution and creationism are.
I assume the candidates have been briefed about those questions so I see this more as a reflection on the american public than the intellectual capabilities of the models.
So my questions:
How did it come so far?
What implications could this have on future research? (eg. funding)
What is done / should be done about it?

RE: ketamine– uses and abuses.
Very disappointing, unprepared remarks about ketamine and “illicit drugs”. Ketamine is widely used not only for animals but for many surgical scenarios for humans and often in combination with propofol as in the battlefield for damage contorl surgery and for cosmetic surgery. Occasionally, it is useful as an adjunct with other pain meds for inpatients with history of chronic pain. I am not sure what she is saying when she uses ketamine as an example of limited access for scientific investigation based on its “illicitness”. For any study involving medications with abuse potential there is a strict but not unreasonable protocol that must be completed.
