No scientist should be doing anything in ounces and inches in any country. I was shocked to discover this but I still see some US work using US standard instead of metric, it seems that they haven't learned their lesson.
On the article, it would be even better if we could see some of the photos and have a link to some of the original research for those who would like to pursue the subject. I think the science section of the Indy is good but should be expanded. If the articles are sometimes quite light providing links to enable interested readers to browse the original research would make up for this. Science has been marginalised for too long and headlines in many papers are often scientifically inaccurate. How many times has Legionnaires disease been called a mystery virus? It is a bacterium and it is not a mystery.
