A case of bad science awareness among our "meejer", as we call them in England. A case for a polite feedback letter, if only they gave us the facility.
Now I know there was a presidential election recently, but would there be a case for a polite, and I mean polite, letter or two to Sarah Palin, now that there's no more political capital to be made out of the fruit-fly incident? I don't think that the "na nana na na!" attitude that so many took did anything for the status of science.
The usual suspects in the science community did their victory dance but in approximately 177 days they will realize that not only is Obama no different, he could be worse. Because the loudest science writers tend to be young they don't really remember anything before Bush. Science funding went down the last time there was a Democrat president. A lot.
