Backing up birth control
Last week a number of Washington University students participated in Back Up Your Birth Control Day, an event organized by Planned Parenthood to highlight the problem of limited access to emergency contraception (EC), also known as “the morning after pill.”
How to save endangered species
When considering the plight of species like the spotted owl or the Stephen’s kangaroo rat, there’s a novel approach to the problem that no one has seriously considered. I know others before me have suggested it, but I think the idea bears repeating: we should start eating them.
The state of the union
In truly democratic nations, Election Day can legitimately be described as one of the most important days of the year. On a regular schedule, a nation’s citizens convene to set the course of the nation for the next couple of years.
