tsmith | November 6, 2008 I know I have many promised posts, and I'll get to them one day. Alas, the family and day job come before blogging, and I've been swamped with ongoing projects, grant applications, and manuscripts. I've been so busy, in fact, that revere over at Effect Measure beat me to the punch on my own upcoming paper, looking at antibodies to Streptococcus suis in Iowa swine workers. The paper is scheduled for the December issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases, but the unedited draft is already up in their ahead of print section. As revere already has a good overview of the paper, I'll just point…

clock | September 18, 2008I tend not to delete comments (except for obvious spam) or ban commenters. If you post more than one link, I will rescue your comment out of the Junk Folder once I discover it there, no matter how much I may personally dislike what you say.
I let Creationists' comments stay - nice fodder for my regular commenters to debunk.
I let Serbian and/or Albanian nationalists' comments stay as long as they do not cross the line of proper behavior (e.g., physical threats).
It is the last few weeks of the election season so I am posting a lot of posts on politics. The emotions are high, I understand…
