Treatment Options for Osteoarthritis
I was browsing Technorati, since I try to keep in touch with arthritis postings this way, and ran across the following: There is nothing we can do …. I don’t know if i should laugh or cry ……. getting straight to the point, i have fully blown Osteo-arthritis, the Orthapeadic Surgeon said i have the…

AIDS and the Lack of Evidence-based Thinking
I found myself quite irritated with this post by an anonymous WordPress blogger (link to site). Here’s the relevant part: As I was watching T.V. tonight and seemingly becoming dumber with each minute that passed by, I saw a commercial that intrigued me. The commercial starred Ashley Judd and was an ‘Aids Awareness’ promotion speaking…

A Fin is a Limb is a Wing
Just wanted to give a link to this nice article in National Geographic about the evolution of complex structures. It’s written by Carl Zimmer who also blogs over at ScienceBlogs. Check the article, and his blog, out sometime.
