I haven't seen the article in question, but Iwonder how Wells was described?
Molecular biologist? Embryologist? Cutting-edge researcher (I actually saw
that one in a newspaper article)? Wells has 3 published articles in the
scientific literature, all on xenopus development. I had 3 articles
published as a 3rd year grad student. I wonder if I should present myself as
a 'cutting-edge researcher' from now on?
My point being of course that one of the tactics of the ID movement - and of
creationism in general - is to pump up one's credentials/qualifications to
impress the lay public. Sadly, it seems to work all too often....
