Saw a presentation today by Rick Schubert, Director of Wildlife Rehabilitation at the Schuylkill Center www.schuylkillcenter.org/departments/wildlife/ He managed to convey urgency of human impact stressing wildlife while remaining positive and passionate. Cool Science Question #1: How do Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus) stay healthy while wallowing in carrion? There may be naturally occurring antibacterial agents in avian tissues! See The Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy http://jac.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/44/3/416 Cool Science Question #2: What happens to those lab mice when the scientists are done poking and prodding? Well, Temple sends its 'control' mice to thje Schuylkill Center to feed the recovering raptors> Now THAT'S recycling. Correct on all counts; fortunately, exceptions abound.

I get to hear many famous scientists give talks when they receive awards. The tone you describe so well pervades these talks. In their defense, it must be terribly frustrating to know the science behind a looming disaster and try to make your message fit your audience rather than just yelling "le ciel lui tombe sur la tete." It does seem scientists are talking excitedly in French to an audience ignorant of that language. Fewer well-chosen words in English would work much better. Thanks for bringing this up.
