Dale Husband : The Honorable Skeptic
Dale Husband Group moderators reserve the right to move threads that are placed by other members in the wrong room. For example, a news story about DNA testing belongs in the Biology room, not the Chemistry room, while a story about heavy elements found in the Crab Nebula may be posted in either the Astronomy room or the Chemistry room. When in doubt, place an item in one of the "parent" science rooms and it will be sorted out later. (6 months ago)
