(Or, "Paris, France," as Sarah felt it important to note. As though listeners might be thinking the research to which she was referring took place in Paris, Arkansas; Paris, Idaho; Paris, Illinois; Paris, Kentucky; Paris, Missouri; Paris, South Carolina; Paris, Tennessee or Paris, Texas. I kid you not. Wink, wink.)

And that funding for research that goes through the peer review process through NIH or other science agencies doesn't end up in the list of earmarks sponsored by specific congresspersons to benefit their own constituents? I think the Aplysia has taught us many great things about habituation and desensitization but that doesn't mean I think my congressman should give the fishing industry money to eradicate them.
