The write of the Slate piece has been following this story all along.  She
has already published two previous accounts on Science on-line.

This is a case of the Press getting it right ... we have three excellent
reporters, one of whom holds a Ph.D. in chemistry, doing extensive
investigation, presenting the facts, and providing well-reasoned, succinct
conclusions.

I urge everyone who can to forward all of these publications to your campus
Provost (or Chancellor) and the Deans of the Colleges of Science and
Engineering.
