Tenenbaum begins with a revealing vignette:<br \/>\nI e-mailed an eminent limnologist today, seeking to discuss an environmental issue that he\u2019s considered important enough to study for several years. To my delight, he immediately responded with word that a new study was forthcoming in an important journal.
