The DNA-ing of America

Article Abstract:

The DNA has become an American cultural icon and is now being used to sell not only concepts, but also inanimate objects such as cars. It crops up in all forms of discourses from politics to entertainment. In the scientific field from whence it sprung, it is creating a shift towards nonsexist language as researchers see its creation through the interaction between the sperm and the egg.

Down for the count

Article Abstract:

Journalists' presentation of statistics becomes misinformation when these are erroneously interpreted through lack of numerical skills. This is the argument presented by John Allen Paulos in 'A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper.' Sam Roberts, on the other hand, in 'Who We Are' is a case of statistical information overload.
