I found two statements about "scientific research" in the news media objectionable last week. First, an editorial in the Herald-Times about an IU sorority that was roundly criticized for holding a party that mocked the homeless: According to Jill Bolte Taylor, a brain scientist, these kids didn’t yet have the ability to think properly about their idea. Research shows the brain develops such abilities later than you might think — between the teens and the mid 20s.
