It made me think for a while. I’ve always wanted to become a researcher specialized in human genetics, that’s why I study genetics at [...]

The following is a reader take by Edwin Leap. I have read many articles about professionals who left their career fields after many years and decided to teach. Many of them go into the public school system to share their knowledge and experience with the next generation. In fact, it sounds like a grand idea. Qualified teachers are a commodity of inestimable value. But I have been stricken by a comment...

To whoever posted the 27,881 word comment on one of my previous posts, I have only one thing to say: Dude, please take your meds. For anyone else, either medical students on or preparing for a psychiatry rotation or confirmed insomniacs looking for a sure-fire sleep aid, email me if you want to read it.

Neuromarketing is a controversial new field which uses functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging - a medical technology - to sell products. It's akin to mapping one's mind for likes and dislikes.

Wow, has it really been a month already? June was a veritable whirlwind. I finished out that last call and then embarked on a 3 week "tour of duty," visiting friends that we hadn't the opportunity to see for 2 years (eek) and also doing some interviewing. I wish that I could say that I've found the perfect job and everything is going to be happily ever after, but so far that hasn't happened. All of...

A Fine Sight Okay, it is actually no longer the Fourth of July but a slight tribute is still in order. I was on planes all day getting back from Dublin, which is a fine way to celebrate the birth of our country. There are tributes across the web, of course, and more specifically the medical [...]

It's a slow time for blogging between holidays, vacations and needing to devote time to (PAID!!!) writing, yet I wanted to respond to some of the commenters on my previous post who asked about what immunizations are recommended for "perfectly healthy adults." Here's the thing about official vaccine recommendations. They are: Easily accessible Changing at an accelerated pace, and Developed with applicability...

There was an interesting article 7/3/08 in Ms.Magazine by Gayle Greene suggesting that trouble sleeping may be related to fluctuating hormones, which can be more difficult to deal with than usual, at several particular points in a woman's life. In particular, Ms. Greene reported that twice as many women have trouble sleeping than men and that about 67% of women report frequently having trouble...

Happy July 4! As we celebrate Independence Day, we should be grateful for our freedoms, families, friends, and wonderful country. We are especially indebted to all who serve and have served America, be it military, education, environment, health care, or any other public service. Few of us would be able to enjoy much of our lives in the U.S. without the continual selfless devotion of others. When...
