Science vs. Reporting

by mem from somerville

There was an interesting item I heard this morning on my NPR station. It was from the show Living on Earth, and it was about the BP oil spill. But it wasn't so much about the spill itself--it was more about the scientific communications around the spill that were the issue. The segment was: Dude, Where's the Oil? and the scientist discussing it is Christopher Reddy of WHOI.

This story made some interesting points that I'd like to discuss here.
