This Week's Letters

Some views about Bayesian statistical methods are offered, including that the methods seem to be "an attempt to find any port in a storm in the face of our belated realization of the overwhelming complexity of social and environmental systems." Strides toward intellectual and scientific exchange between U.S. neuroscientists and their Cuban colleagues are described. The scientists whose work on live oral polio vaccine was discussed in The River state that "no chimpanzee cells were ever used by us to make [oral polio vaccine]." A variety of comments about the situations tenured women face in academia are given. And the purposes of some ornamental structures on peacock mites are described.
