National Review? The Weekly Standard? Moon's Washington Times? I was expecting Science and Nature, honestly. Okay, I wasn't.
Well, ISCID cancelled all their conferences and symposia, and apparently the journal for all we can tell, maybe the DI events have a pulse?
Oooo, hey, look, they have a conference tomorrow:

That's weird. I don't remember reading anything about that at Uncommonly Dense. Do the Densians even know there's a big ID conference tomorrow? It's the event of the season, man.
Maybe the DI's where it's at, what with this big impressive conference and all. What's up next on their agenda?

What? I thought I just saw that one. But in a different city. Apparently, they're having a conference, then...um...having the same conference again. Same people, same topics. I haven't been to too many conferences, but, really, does that seem like a scientific conference to you?
