We start with a few opinion pieces which in my view raises more worries than they resolve. The first on Gene Drives in that hands of fools seems destine to be a science nightmare sometime soon. The message from Trump against fetal tissue research as a way of getting the point across on abortion and thus win his selected demographic of voters is meant to put stupid scientist in there place. It is real cultural revolution stuff. The anti wind farm movement is similarly unethical. I do like a good concrete article but this advertisement was a blatant BP oil company spin and by rights was so far fetched it really shouldn't be slotted into a science magazine. The story on Ghost populations was on one hand really fascinating but on the other a bit misleading when you drilled down into what it was saying. It really needs to be spread out in separate paragraphs and then logically constructed. Well this all seems to have caught me in a critical mood.
