New Scientist Responds to Complaint about Reporter

October 12, 2006, 1:37 PM

The New Scientist has responded to our letter, characterizing the event as unique in Biever’s history and unrepresentative of New Scientist reporting.

Notably, unlike some internet Darwinists, the New Scientist did not try to defend its writer’s actions.
