Just to clarify one point. I haven't been able to access the Mori
webpage giving details of the poll (maybe it's crashed because of
people like me wishing to see the actual poll questions :-) ), but
before everyone panics, a poll in Great Britain by the same
organisation published April 2009
From a British Council webpage on the April 2009 UK Mori opinion poll
on evolution:
Nearly a quarter of Londoners and 16 per cent of people in the UK

God, a British Council survey has revealed.

My experiences is two-fold. First, I have found that very few students take
advantage of such open sessions. Even when I have my TA in a specific class
offer walk-in help the night before a paper is due only a couple of students
show up. Second, when students want a tutor (I'm

Why not have her send it to the Psi Chi Journal of Undergraduate Research?
Regardless of where she sends it it'll be under review when she is applying
for graduate school so I'd focus on finding a journal that is a good fit rather
than one that has quick turn-around times.

Rob,
I think it is fun, but I guess it comes down to the old depth vs breadth
issue. Also, the issue of how long it takes to create one of these comics
and whether your students have computers that are powerful enough to
handle this website. You want online tools that are easy to learn, quick

Regrettably, having the student publish the paper in a student journal, such as
the Psi Chi Journal, may not be a good idea. See:

This study on the impact of life without Dad for degu pups was presented
at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in Chicago this month and recently
published in the journal Neuroscience. Fascinating though, at least
