18 October 2008 (Dave, Kim, and Marshall) "What's in a Word?”

Dave, Kim, and Marshall discuss the need to be very precise in the use of "words" in scientific context.  Often, scientists are not as consistent with their usage as they should be.  This is terribly confusing to non-scientists and has been the cause of many misunderstandings.  Also included are the regular features of Story of the Week, Trivia, Creation Corner, and Media Fumbles.
