The New York Times reports that a medical researcher faked claims to being a Rhodes Scholar, and that a major scandal that has erupted. The scenario is very familiar to readers of Healthcare Renewal, with universities collecting millions from public sources and the pharmaceutical industry, turning a blind eye to credentials discrepancies of faculty “taxpayers”, and the public possibly put at risk through faulty research and suspect “reviews”: Duke Scientist Suspended Over Rhodes Scholar Claims New York Times July 20, 2010 Duke University School of Medicine has suspended a researcher and stopped patient enrollment in three cancer studies upon learning of reports that the researcher had overstated his academic credentials. One of the lead investigators on the cancer studies, Dr.

There were various responses on my Strawberry ice cream recipe , requesting a retraction of the moniker ice “cream” since it didn’t have cream in it. And a respected food writer pointed out that pumpkin was obligatory in Soupe au Pistou . I, too, know that folks will sometimes call something hot ‘chocolate’ even though it was made with cocoa powder instead of chocolate.

Discover has descended in force upon the unexpecting San Diego International Comic-Con, not only to host our own panel (”Abusing the Sci of Sci-Fi,” tonight, 6pm, Room 6AB) but to pore over the rest of the conference and bring the choicest nuggets back to our own SNF readers. To that end, I just emerged from a great panel hosted by the sci-fi blog (and new Discover syndication partner) io9 about “Sci-Fi That Will Change Your Life.” The panel included some io9ers (Annalee Newitz, Charlie Jane …

I read with great interest Dan Vorhaus’ post on the new letters sent to DTCG companies this week.While it seems to me that these letters were probably planned beforehand, they may indeed be just trying to batch the “Publicized” I.E. Venture funded DTCG with the private funded DTCG.

If you are someone who knows how to make homemade soap, or you are simply looking to get started with homemade soap recipes, there is a good chance that you have heard the phrase superfatting being tossed around a lot. Superfatting is essentially the process of adding more oil to your soap while keeping the amount of lye that has been used essentially the same. If you are looking at your recipe, you can superfat it by looking at the lye and oil ratios and increasing your oil content by five percent or so.
