Not really as high as it is in the States.

We really should be able to 'Europeanise' the states - not government-wise, necessarily, but education-wise. It's the GDP that believes that the power of ONE EFFING NATION overrules the power of like TWENTY.
Wait. You state the obvious truth that we're the greatest country in the history of the world, and for that matter in the history of the universe, but then you suggest that we should adopt an educational system that must necessarily be worse than ours?

Where did you learn to think like that?

Oh, yeah. Sorry.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
