I am taking the Memorial Day holiday off. I will return tomorrow. In the meantime, here's a general principle that needs to be remembered in cancer research:
If you teach biology, you probably get to hydrogen bonding pretty early in the term. Here's an inspirational video for you:
“We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does.

Hi, Orac,
Thanks for the site plug! My humble little blog has only been around a couple of weeks, but I hope everyone takes the time to browse around a little.
I'd like to take this opportunity to let you know that your site has been a great help. My mom attends a Unitarian church group, and there was a young couple there filling her head with anti-vaccination woo. I sent my mom links to the autism category of your site, and she came well-armed to her next church group. She gave the couple a link to your site and even they realized the had been snookered by the woo-meisters. (I hope that doesn't sound like I'm sucking up).
Anyway, thanks again for acknowledging my lowly little blog.
Hey Orac, xkcd recently had a cartoon that seems to apply to the woo-meisters: http://xkcd.com/373/ Thought you'd enjoy. :)
Sometimes I get down on myself for my writing style. Compared to Orac et al, I write like a 15 year old gamer crossed with an lolcat. I know high school kids that are more articulate than me.
Then I read one of O'Learys posts...
ERV - Yeah, Orac does write real purty, but your T-Shirts look better! :)
(And really, Abbie, it's not your actual writing style, just the "random punctuation", that's at issue). Maybe you could re-name your writing style as Punctuated Punctuation?
And of course, you will Always BE BETTER THAN Denyse!
Abbie, I say this in all sincerity: your writing has character, which is more than Denyse O'Leary will ever be able to say. I tend to grate when people use "it's" to denote possession, but your war against the apostrophe is so consistent that it becomes style. I never noticed it until someone else brought it up.
I tend to have anxiety attacks when I'm writing, and no matter how many times I proofread, I always have to change at least one thing after it's been posted.
