Nice paper

Nice paper

But this can be used to move for a final push to openess in science.

This cannot be an excuse for not moving forward.

That "short walk across a cornfield" would expose college students to views such as that the world was created in seven days six thousands years ago or that human-made climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese. I can see a few good conversations taking off from there. I'm not being sarcastic. I wonder if debates on these politically sensitive topics, featuring academics and non-academics, held off-campus would be well received by Trump voters. They'd be certainly interesting.

I do agree that most debates on campus tend to feature left-leaning speakers. Inviting more conservatives to symposia would generate more interesting debates which would include views shared by a great number of Americans (Trump voters and beyond).

Some of these now so-called "Trump states" used to be "Obama states". How will we call them in the next election cycle?

Isn't this better than having cabinet-level appointees with no college education at all? This is what we will have now in the incoming administration.

Why not? Better have them be red islands in red states? Higher education is a force for liberal and progressive values. Those values are in conflict with many values held by the conservative majority in many states. Schools can and should remain liberal to promote political change in those states.

So stunning is prohibited because it could injure the animal.

Stunning seems to be a legal requisite in some countries.

In this paragraph, the author points out that K&H methods are also respectful to the animal.

Check these ones

This would involve too much traveling?

So this is a requirement in the UK? Good

I think that this means that I can submit the same abstract to three different symposia

But this means that I can only submit three different abstracts?

So the conference is organized in topic areas which contain all the symposia.

Good post!
