 Remember Dr. Richard Lenski, who delivered such a righteous smackdown recently to Conservapedia crank Andrew Schlafly?
You can hear him talk about the e coli evolution that has conservapedia hysteria reaching such a fever pitch on one of my favorite science podcasts, The Naked Scientists.
The interview with Dr. Lenski starts at about 19:30 in the full podcast, but you can hear just the interview at The Naked Scientists website.
Dr. Lenski mentioned one of his reasons for addressing Schlafly head on was his mission as an educator, and in the interview his ability to explain evolution for a lay audience-including children-is certainly a strong characteristic.
Listen with your little scientists, or listen for the pure joy of hearing the phrase "evolved bacteria kick butt".
Poetry, I tell ya, poetry...
