Measles on the rise
"Health experts are issuing a warning about measles after an unexpectedly high number of cases this summer."Well just in case anyone is wondering what the effects of a dumbed down science curriculum that favours uninformed debate over peer-reviewed evidence is, we have an "unexpected" rise in measles cases. Colour me surprised.
I'm sorry OCR, but science is not about opinion based debate because not everyone's opinion is equal. There has been enough evidence post-Wakefield to dismiss the initial Lancelet paper as nonsense and to allow doubt about the safety of MMR to creep into the curriculum is irresponsible at best.
We can expect future media scare stories on issues such as MMR and WiFi as long as this kind of "don't worry about the actual evidence, there is no right or wrong answer" style of debate continues. Whatever happened to evidence based science?

Online instructional program
Online degrees sound great, and many universities are building the technology to offer distance learning programs. Yet, some universities still require you to use other mediums to obtain your online degrees besides your computer. Some programs require you to use video or telephone conferencing that are less effective. The best online degrees are earned from universities that are fully taught online. Being fully taught via the internet also means that you should look at online degree programs that are taught by qualified professors. Many online programs only hire local teachers………….
