If you're like me you've been following the whole debate on framing and science spurred by Chris Mooney and Matt Nisbet's articles in Science and the WaPo. The whole thing has swept across the science blogosphere like nothing else I've ever seen. It's gotten nigh impossible to keep up with all the posts, comments, replies, and counter-posts. Impossible for everyone except for Bora that is. Seriously dude, do you ever sleep? Anyhoo, Bora's got the definitive link collection on this issue over at A Blog Around The Clock should you wish to dive in.

And you should! It's important to everyone who believes that policy and governance should be based on science and the real world rather than superstition and preconceived beliefs, not to mention that we all win when the general public has a better understanding of scientific issues -- and what issue isn't touched by science these days? Whatever the reason may be, I think we can all admit that both policy and the public have been woefully ill-informed by science and that has got to change.
