The Summit will present participants with an invaluable opportunity to collaborate with key business, political and academic personalities at a national and international level and address important issues, particularly in regard to policy framing and regulations and international partnerships.

Thanks for this post, which is an excellent summary of this issue. What I noted earlier at Panda’s Thumb is worth noting again here:

Am absolutely delighted that Niles and Greg thought Genie was so deserving of this special issue (MEMO TO NILES AND GREG: Thanks, I know of no one else more worthy or deserving of such an honor.) or that the only person who could do such a fine job in guest editing it would be none other than Glenn. This is both a brilliant and wonderful tribute to someone who has stood courageously at the front line of each and every battle against those who have sought to insert their religiously-inspired nonsense into science classrooms for decades.
