They've received a lot of criticism about it as explained in a recent blogpost: Transparency regarding Food Frontiers by Evan Lerner the editor of ScienceBlogs . It's the announcement of the correction of the profile on .....read more »

The 27th edition of Scientia Pro Publica is up at Melliferax. I did wander what is Melliferax but it's all about bees amongst other things Melliferax is a beekeeper, an atheist, an oxymoronically opinionated Swede, and a biology geek. Among other things.

The Holidays may be over, but there’s no rest for Santa or his cute little Congressional elves. So, after a respite that must have seemed all too brief, Santa has herded his diminutive (but ever-cheerful!) drudges right back into their Secret Workshop, to finish building for us kids the Healthcare We Can All Believe In. Liked the animation and description of it. A very nice and eloquent introduction of this weeks grand round on The Covert Rationing Blog by DrRich I especially liked Do you ever go through the motions “My last instructor told me that sometimes they go through the motions of .....read more »

Again in 2009 the most popular post on Dr Shock was Sex, Video Games and the Brain, probably due to the title. Than why use sex in your title?
