Science Magazine Issues Correction About Discovery Institute

Science magazine has issued a correction for incorrectly calling Discovery Institute "creationism's main think tank." (see original post here)

Corrections and Clarifications

News of the Week: "Court revives Georgia sticker case" by C. Holden (2 June, p. 1292). The article incorrectly characterizes the Discovery Institute in Seattle, Washington, as a think tank for the creationist movement. The institute is a public policy organization that operates many different programs, including the Center for Science & Culture, which supports the work of scholars who explore challenges to evolution and promote the concept of intelligent design.

Wnen we originally called for Science to issue the correction it appeared we'd been rebuffed, but now we see that they have corrected the record. It is good to see such corrections made when they are needed.
