It is as accurate as it can be given the facts today. Some high school aged magazine articles I've done recently have offered more than one theory, leaving it up to the reader to ponder the facts. However, when writing smaller pieces like PBs, there is not much room for this approach. While we busy ourselves putting pen to paper, science continues to move and evolve. Some things never change and some things always change.Linda Zajachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11930130216892471502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-47135427477664267022011-03-03T10:48:07.312-05:002011-03-03T10:48:07.312-05:00Too true, and a daily struggle.

One doesn't even have to go back to the Cretaceous or light-years into space to bump heads with the (delightful, complex, intriguing) challenges in science writing...all you have to do is be writing about "what is the longest centipede" or the like, and immediately you will find there is even controversy or uncertainty there. (You end up nearly having to write, "The snickle-faced tomb centipede is the longest centipede among centipedes with crossed eyes" or the like because there's always some other centipede vying for the title...).Christina Wilsdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02472802098557216513noreply@blogger.com
