Desiree Jennings: Worst reporting ever? I hate to revisit this case again. However, some of my readers have sent me links to something that compels me to dig up the rotting corpse of Generation Rescue's despicable attempt to use the suffering of a troubled young...
Gene Expression
Cannibalism & evolution Cannibalism is a controversial topic. It is routine for particular societies to accuse "barbarians", enemies, or evil mythological figures, of cannibalism.

The Free Market, Flu Vaccine and The Role of Gummit The Free Market is a god-like powerful force that we can rely on to solve our problems, especially those of supply and demand. So if, as the WHO estimates, about 2% of the population is going to be covered by H1N1 Swine Flu vaccine then...

The global swine flu vaccine shortage We shouldn't rely on drug companies for flu vaccines, antiretrovirals or malaria drugs.
A Blog Around The Clock
New and Exciting in PLoS ONE There are 22 new articles in PLoS ONE today. As always, you should rate the articles, post notes and comments and send trackbacks when you blog about the papers. You can now also easily place articles on various social services...

The Chicago Tribune: Telling it like it is about the antivaccine autism "biomed" movement There are times when I look back, and I can't believe I've been at it this long. It's not just the blogging, the fifth anniversary of which is rapidly approaching for me. Hard as it is to believe, not only...

Swine flu in China: no problem Less than a hundred swine flu deaths in China? Don't make me laugh.

Clifton Leaf: "a legal frenzy that's diverting scientists from doing science" Revisiting an old article on the Bayh-Dole Act leads us to wonder whether US university ownership of discoveries from federally-funded research has hindered medical progress.

"Politics is always intruding into the world of breast cancer" Before I try to leave this topic for a while (which, like so may topics in the past, has temporarily taken over the blog for the last few days), one of the comments I've kept hearing since I started blogging...

Here we go again. Ecstasy, death...unsubstantiated claims. Canada. Again. This time in Whistler: A 20-year-old male had been found unconscious by friends. When police arrived, Whistler Fire Rescue Service and Emergency Health Services personnel were performing CPR, but failed to revive the victim, who was pronounced dead...

Science-based medicine: we are not automatons Opponents of science-based medicine like to accuse the rest of us of failing to be "holisitc", of failing to see the whole individual who comes to us for health care. I've argued many times that this is not only wrong,...

The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center takes legal action against Evolv water Continued misuse of the M.D. Anderson name by bottled water multilevel-marketing companies draws legal action this week in US District Court. I found at least some of the data on the "testing" of their water on in vitro release of pro-inflammatory lipids from cultured cancer cells - guess what might happen if one puts cultured cells into water or 50/50 water and media?

Continuous submission of NIH grants for reviewers: Something is odd. Anything that encourages scientists to help with NIH grant review is a GoodThing.
