Really?! This is newsworthy?
The Guardian decided a while ago that it needed to put more science articles in the on-line version. As a result any press release with the word 'scientist' in it gets picked up and reported on. All it takes is 700 people commenting that it's a stupid article & its popularity getsit on the fornt page.
It's generally a sensible newspaper, so I thought I'd stick up for it. Not sure what they're playing at here:
