Apart from a special issue in Nature, the stance of the McCain and Obama camps on science have gained relatively little air time. This is fairly disappointing, given just how broad "science" is. Global warming anyone?
However, Sarah Palin has managed to change this with her monumentally stupid comments about "fruit fly research in Paris". It would be unfair to expect a career politician to fully understand the technical aspects of modeling human disease in simpler organisms, but surely someone could explain the concept? I doubt that I can explain the issue better than Adam Rutherford of the Guardian, or even the unashamedly liberal Huffington Post writers. Words cannot describe how angry I am that it is even possible for such an ignorant fool to be anywhere near becoming the most powerful woman in the world - and we haven't even started talking about her views on climate change...
