This Week's Letters

An effective response to the decision by the Kansas Board of Education to eliminate evolution from the state's science curriculum is suggested. A Seussophile offers information. A broad view of information technology research is advocated: "the most critical...research questions...concern the basic principles of the organization of complex information processing systems, at both hardware and software levels." Scoring in NIH study sections is criticized. A market solution is urged for energy R&D funding. Education is related to reducing destruction of the rain forest. New U.S. program initiatives in natural disaster mitigation are described. And extrapolation in work on responses of the biosphere to elevated atmospheric CO2 is questioned.
