I'd like to remind everyone that the PalCast, after a brief hiatus, is up and running again. Given the chaos of life and work (and the fact that work is likely to get even busier very, very soon) the schedule may be a tiny bit erratic, but tune it...you might like it.

The link above allows you to add it to listen in any way you prefer, including iTunes. I'm promoting it because I like it...I don't have sponsors or anything (although if Peet's Coffee wants to help out a long-time fan, I'm willing to give them a shout out for some Major Dickason's).

But a fascinating lesson in scientific discourse is currently underway in the blogosphere. It all started with a harmless little analysis of a letter published in NEJM. The strange part (to those of us who live here) was that the authors responded. On the blog. For real. And they were kinda…
