On the list of active blogs on ResearchBlogging.org as of Friday, September 17, sorted by gender of authors, Dr Shock is number two on Blogs with male authors. First is Research Digest Blog.
Despite the fact that women are getting science PhDs in nearly the same numbers as men, they are blogging much less. I even looked at the average number of posts about peer-reviewed research they had done, and again, men outpaced women by nearly 50 percent, which means men may have written as many as 80 percent of the posts on ResearchBlogging.org.

Have you written a blogpost or are you going to write something of quality that deals with science, environment or medicine, please submit it to Scientia Pro Publica through the automated blog carnival submission form.
ScienceBlogs is a collection of blog covering topics such as Life Science, Medicine, Politics to name just a few. I read these blogs often, do have a lot of them in my RSS Feed reader and in my blogroll. In short very well written blogs with great impact on the blogosphere and other media.
This blog is sponsored by PepsiCo. All editorial content is written by PepsiCo’s scientists or scientists invited by PepsiCo and/or ScienceBlogs. All posts carry a byline above the fold indicating the scientist’s affiliation and conflicts of interest.
So my decision is made. I’m closing up around here. I’m in the process of working out exactly where I’m going to go. With any luck, Seed will leave this blog here long enough for me to post an update with the new location. But I’m through with Seed and ScienceBlogs.
Others are considering to leave ScienceBlogs as well: Pepsigeddon claims Good Math, Bad Math. Even Newspapers write about this problem for ScienceBlogs: ScienceBlogs, we have a problem.
Read their collection of comments from some bloggers on ScienceBlogs and you’ll get the feel of the outrage taking place after this obscure decision.
The latest Grand Rounds is made in ChronicBabe style, which means a collection of nice posts. A gathering of doctors, nurses, patients and just regular folk who like to write about medicine. And women. That’s why it’s ladylike, enjoy…
This time all graphics because the theme is Visual Communication. Posts are represented by 450×150 pixel images. So click on this picture below and it will get you to this creative grand round of medblogs.
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.
“My last instructor told me that sometimes they go through the motions of doing CPR (reanimation), even when they know it is futile, for the benefit of the family. Do you ever go through the motions?”
I also liked the post over at Muse, RN. A relative newcomer to the blogosphere.
Muse is rightly fed up with the frequent disrespect shown to the nursing profession, and to the systematic lack of political clout these indispensible professionals have.
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? Because this was about the biological difference between men and women instead of other possible differences such as roles. The term about all possible differences besides the biological part is gender.
The About page on this blog ended up between these two posts. Did some improvements on it although not satisfied yet, so any suggestions are welcome. Did put a few lines in about postings and request. In short, I don’t use guest writers, I do get a lot of mail from writers asking me to allow them to write a guest post but this blog is for fun and education (of mostly myself) and I will keep it that way. Also questions about treatments or advice around treatments aren’t answered by me. I think answering these questions will do a lot of people short. Good advice in psychiatry needs a face to face contact to my opinion.
Besides chocolate another hobby of mine scored well on the list. Video games or Computer Games at Work are Good For You scored high on the list. The other posts in this list are mainly about the neurobiology or neuroscience of everyday life. In the next year you’ll be reading more on this subject as well as about chocolate and video games, so stay tuned subscribe by email of RSS feed.
Well that’s for the end of year lists, you can see the other titles on the picture above and most important have a good health and happiness in the coming year, take care, Dr Shock
