weekend blog post assignment

For this first blog post, please write about the stakes in the article "Looking for the Lie," from the Best American Science Writing 2007. As you compose your entry, here are some questions to consider: What are the audience's interests in the topic? What concerns would the audience have that the article speaks to or draws out? What ongoing national discourses does the article tap into, either explicitly (stated) or implicitly (implied)? What does the article hope to accomplish with its audience? What political, scientific or humanistic concerns does the article speak to that the audience might have (or form) opinions about?
