Spotted on Google News: a university press release getting picked up
as if it were science news. It's a survey with differences such as 8
out of 16 men (50%) versus 14 out of 51 women (27%).

Well, you can chi-square the numbers yourself
Tipsters probably have heard of the incident involving Heidi Klum
and her children at a Hawaiian beach during the Easter Weekend.
Most sources reported how she ran out into the ocean to save her
seven year old son when he got pulled down by a riptide.
One source, however, focused on Klum's
The funny thing is, although most of the reports of this study done by a
doctoral student and presented at a conference said that men were more affected
than women (based on these non-significant results), this failure to reject the
null hypothesis is cited in at least one source as providing

Actually, the whole study with the online survey methodology, the
small sample size and the questionable interpretation reminds me of
studies done by my Research Methods undergrad students but at least
they would have calculated the chi square results and

Thanks to all those responding to my inquiry about the challenges of hiring new
clinical faculty. I think TIPS folks raised some valuable points and issues the
search committee here can discuss. We might highlight our area and community
more and outline better the possibilities of clinical

Okay, but let me point out a puzzle:
Why
Another possible explanation for the percent of those believing in creation

increases is that the number of those reporting no religious belief has
benefitted from the low hanging fruit: those who didn't believe but were
