We zijn de zee aan ’t leegvreten.
Science journalists at the just-concluded AAAS annual meeting were notably unimpressed by things that others might consider big news. A colleague tells us what happened at a press conference about the dire state of skipjack and bluefin tuna: “An Italian-born expert pointed out that in the Mediterranean the Mafia – the real Mafia, he said, not some lobby group – had taken control of the trade and were routinely threatening tuna conservation researchers. The startling news that European ichthyologists had been warned they would sleep with the fishes aroused not a flicker on interest. A reporter put his hand up and asked if there was any new science in all this.”
