"Entomologists are not like other people. Lucky enough to score a cool parasitic larva burrowing in your skin after a visit to Central America? The obvious thing to do is to rear your maggot out in your body until it’s an adult fly. For science."

"Not only are the rich getting richer, though, but because they're getting more of their money from capital gains, they're getting taxed less, too. Remember, the top tax rate is 39.6 percent on ordinary income, but it's just 23.8 percent on capital gains—and was 15 percent in 2010. That's why the top 400 households only paid an effective rate of 18 percent then."

"It is disingenuous for the Republican-controlled House Committee on Science, Space and Technology to promote the idea that scientists are wasting millions of taxpayer dollars to run shrimp on treadmills based on a 30-second video clip. Given that every teaspoon of seawater can contain millions of bacteria, it does not take a mental giant to understand that the health of marine organisms and the safety of the seafood we eat are closely related."
