I strongly suggest you go read two very good posts I came across today.
The first by my friend Thomas at Disease of the Week is about leprosy in all its glory and celebrating World Leprosy Day! He's a funny guy and leprosy is always fun to read about.
The second is by FoS blogger Emily Willingham. A great piece on woo and oversimplification of science in the media specifically referring to the 'link' between having your children's tonsils out and your children becoming overweight. Apparently this common surgery is extending the childhood obesity epidemic. Well not really.
I have nothing more today, just liked these posts and thought I would share them :).

Thank you for linking. The list continues to grow, seemingly in inverse proportion to accurate content.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get back into blogs and blogging! Will start this weekend, once interview-madness is over...
