.Maier, Chuck

[?-] SciCre-ist. Active in the Science echo from June, 1991 to May, 1992. Would often repost the same previously refuted argument. This led to the creation of the "Chuck Maier Whopper Database", which documented already-refuted arguments which Chuck had made.

.MacRae, Andrew

[?-] T.o. regular, author of files on "Footprints in coal" and "Ted Holden's world".

.Malthus, Thomas

[1766-1834] Author of an article which pointed out that populations grow in geometric proportion, but food production only increased arithmetically. Concluded that without some interference, there would be a calamitous crash in population when food supplies failed to keep up. Both Darwin and Wallace credit Malthus with triggering their central insights on the mechanism of natural selection.

Fisher's critique accusing Mendel of fudging his data ignored the basic biology of the species of pea which Mendel used.

:Mims, Forrest M. III.:

[1944-] Science writer, {TAE}. 1. Mims is well known for his prolific writings about electronics projects. Mims is also well known for his complaints against Scientific American magazine and former SciAm editor Jonathan Piel, wherein he charges that he was denied a columnist position writing The Amateur Scientist column due to religious discrimination. During the interview, Jonathan Piel asked what other writing Mims did and Mims listed various articles, among them two articles about organizing long-distance bicycle field trips for church kids. This prompted the question, "Do you believe in Darwin's theory of evolution?" to which Mims replied, "No, and neither does Stephen Jay Gould." SciAm declined to hire Mims but published three of his columns--which editor Piel declared to be "fabulous" and "outstanding". Mims decried the decision not to hire. Mims also later taped without consent a telephone conversation with Piel, of which a transcript was published in Harper's Magazine in reponse to denials made by Piel. Every now and then, the Mims/SciAm flap is brought up in online discussion.
