One has a subscription to Nature magazine. A weekly. And it's very scientific. Has about 15 "letters" each week, with an average of 42 authors for each letter. Titles like "specialized appendages in furzanhuliirids and the head organization of early eurathropods". (link ). You would think that with articles like this that each article would not be propaganda for more funding and egalitarianism. But I've found that in order to get into the publication, it has to have a conclusion like exact quote: "Evolutionary rescue from extinction is contingent on a lower rate of environmental change". 6 authors. They had a great pitt article on influence of rain on agricultural productivity with 100 authors in the last issue, and it showed that no matter how much rain there was, the productivity was about the same. The conclusion of the authors was not that the ecosystem adjusts and is very adaptable, but that in the horrible conditions of drought that are predicted and caused by the greenhouse gases, that because the efficiency is the same, we are in dire need of more government funding and transparency. One wants to cry.
