This Week's Letters

It is pointed out that relationships among size, metabolic rate, and the longevity of species are more complex than scaling laws would predict. And the essay "Being an absolute skeptic" was found to be thought-provoking, but its premise was questioned by many readers: "Does [the author] detect no tingling sense of warning that the mountaintop on which he stands is slippery with oil and beginning to shake?" asks one reader about the statement "Skepticism is correct." Another congratulated Science on publishing a spoof. The author answers the readers' criticisms.
