My scientific specialty is chronobiology (circadian rhythms and photoperiodism), with additional interests in comparative physiology, animal behavior and evolution. I am not an MD so I cannot diagnose and treat your sleep problems. As well as writing this blog, I am also the Online Discussion Expert for PLoS. This is a personal blog and opinions within it in no way reflect the policies of PLoS. You can contact me at: Coturnix@gmail.com

Ethics in Science and Environmental Politics has devoted an entire issue to the question of the use and misuse of bibliometric indices in evaluating scholarly performance. All articles are Open Access. I'd like to see the responses on blogs - let me know if you write/read one, please.

Peter does the first one.
