There was an item on the Sarah Palin's comment about French fruit fly research in today's /Inside Higher Ed/. http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2008/10/28/palin
It includes a quotation on the subject from the always entertaining blog of evolutionary biologist PZ Myers, Pharyngula <http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/10/sarah_palin_ignorant_and_antis.php>: "This idiot woman, this blind, shortsighted ignoramus, this pretentious clod, /mocks/ basic research and the international research community. You damn well better believe that there is research going on in animal models --- what does she expect, that scientists should mutagenize human mothers and chop up baby brains for this work?"
