This Week's Letters

The benefits of potential therapies for later-stage Alzheimer's are questioned: "[D]o the drugs simply extend the total period of decline without reducing the overall personal and social burdens the disease imposes?" It is observed that to properly judge the effectiveness of the biological control of invading species, the trade-offs associated with alternatives such as chemical control agents, or doing nothing, need to be carefully evaluated. Highlights of an online discussion on evolution and creationism in science education in the United States are presented. And, the "vogue word/bandwagon phenomenon" inspires a model poem.
