Why journalists don't talk about science
I wrote an editorial in the Western Herald that appeared today, and a physics professor wrote back all hot and bothered that the way it was presented didn't jive exactly with his interpretation of how physics was developed. Keep in mind, my first degree from West Point is physics; it's not like I just made the stuff up.

Anyway, my point in mentioning physics in my editorial was to actually talk nice about the natural sciences. I'm starting to understand why journalists don't. If you mention the natural sciences, someone in the natural sciences throws a fit. It's no wonder more and more people think business is the way to go instead of actual science careers.
