Vaclav Klaus über seiner Erfahrung Der moderne gerichtliche Aktivismus ist in vieler Hinsicht ein Ausdruck des alten Glaubens, dass die Demokratie durch die Aristokratie gemäßigt werden muss "(James Grant) "Einrichtungen wie NROs, die als Produkte organisierter Interessengruppen hervorgegangen sind und die auf unpolitische Weise Vorteile und Privilegien erstreben, leugnen ganz unverblümt die Liberalisierung der menschlichen Gesellschaft, die während der vergangenen beiden Jahrzehnte stattgefunden hat."
"Starting in 2003, the scientists began teaming up in public talks in which they lay out their arguments in the form of a conversation. Filmmaker Gus Holwerda picks up this evolution as the pair take their skeptical show on the road, tangling with religious leaders, talk-show hosts and several thousand years of cultural inertia. The result is the feature-length film The Unbelievers, which had its world premiere in Toronto at the Hot Docs festival on Monday night."

A year after launching the service — which provides access to the information stored in around 65 million scientific papers, documents and files in Mendeley’s databases — the site has around 240 apps that employ it, and is now seeing growth rocket.

En artikel av Leonardo Vintiñi, i Epoch Times 12 oktober 2008 om Cleve Backsters experiment med växter och lögndetektorer i början av 1960-talet och prof Ian Baldwins uppföljande forskning . "Forskare runt om i världen fortsätter att komma med bevis för att växter är mycket mer än de primitiva och passiva varelser som vi en gång trodde. En sådan forskare är Ian Baldwin från institutionen för molekylär ekologi på Max Planck-institutet i Tyskland. Baldwin hävdar att växter inte bara kan avge kemiska substanser för att försvara sig själva mot rovinsekter, utan att de också faktiskt kan kommunicera sinsemellan genom en komplex vokabulär av nukleinsyror."
