The
Why Files: The Why Files, a project of the
National Institute for Science Education, is an electronic
exploration of the science behind the news. Twice a month, we'll
bring you a new feature on the science (and math, engineering,
and technology) of everyday life. Our boundaries are broad --
from outer space to cellular biology, from dinosaurs and dragon
lizards to the statistics of political polling. We'll scan web
sites related to our stories and link you to the most exciting
scientific spots in cyberspace. We'll talk to skeptics, question
the accepted wisdom and stir things up so you can draw your own
conclusions.

Site, the home of America's foremost authoritarian on the world

the world. You can join thousands of other science fans and have
