 | | I thought that we had dealt with it in sufficient detail in Higher Superstition (1994, 117-26), but not many in science studies, reporters, or professors of women's studies, even among commentators on that book, seem to have actually read it. |
 | | Here is an irony: the author of their textbook, Professor Scott Gilbert of Swarthmore College, is one of those responsible for this bit of Tonypandy (as I will explain later). |
 | | No monograph or serious textbook on fertilization or embryology that I know failed, after the 1920s, to figure or at least to mention the fact of engulfment or the "fertilization cone," the egg structure that does the engulfing. |
