Thanks for the post, Carl. As a journalism/science student, I have concerns about the integrity of both fields right now, as politcal figures and big corporations pull on them for subjective support. It must be incredibly frustrating for someone like Lebo to deal with such resistance. Carl, you're intimately tied to both realms; where are they headed, and do you think they are moving in unison, or apart? Good point, Abel. Thanks for the post, Carl.

Carl, you’re intimately tied to both realms; where are they headed, and do you think they are moving in unison, or apart?

She's quite modest (or humble, or shy). Other than her talk, she didn't say much of anything while on stage. I don't think she answered a single question during the panel Q&A session.

Will they be afraid of the association if she wins a Pulitzer for her reporting? I'm certain that even the <i>Wall Street Journal</i> would be happy to count a reporter of her qualifications among their ranks. Is this more common these days? Are newspapers becoming so corporate and fearful of being associated with controversy that they squelch association with great reporters? It's not like Lauri is Ann Coulter...all of Lauri's work is supported by scientific facts and sophisticated political analysis.
