Dave writes, “Following my degree in Zoology, I worked in public aquariums for several years before becoming a lecturer in Animal Science, so I’ve always has a bit of a ‘fishy’ background! I’m also studying stress in marine fish for a research degree. I’ve always been fascinated by evolution, and to reflect this, I decided to get inked with a Haeckel – this is a medusa from ‘Art Forms in Nature’. Haeckel was clearly a proponent of evolution, and although his ideas weren’t 100% correct, the ma…

Sometimes I think I have now seen every type of conflict of interest that could afflict health care, but then some amazing new variation on the theme comes along… Last year, the New York Times reported on an unusual deal between the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation and a proprietary (for-profit) Caribbean medical school that attracts US citizens who were not admitted to US medical schools: New York City’s Health and Hospitals Corporation has signed a 10-year, $100 million contract with a profit-making medical school in the Caribbean to provide clinical training for hundreds of students at the city’s 11 public hospitals. The unusual deal, proposed by a member of the corporation’s board who has long worked for the Caribbean school, has been met by an outcry from New York medical schools fearing that clerkship slots will grow scarcer and that they might have to increase tuitions to compete

This week I spent time working a trade show out in Phoenix AZ. Aside from the great weather and opportunity to spend some time reaching decision makers, I thought it was a good opportunity to assess whether or not trade shows are still a viable marketing tactic. I’ve been to my share of trade shows and quite honestly, some have been great others were barely worth the time.

I’ve been playing around with a beta build of Firefox's 3.6 browser for some time, and while it’s been completely stable, its new tab behaviour has annoyed me. via Fixing Firefox 3.6’s tab blunder: Blogs – Null Pointer – ZDNet Australia . It’s the one think I don’t like about the newest Firefox release (3.6), opening a link from a tab puts it right next to the one you were reading, rather than off the right end like it used to (which I liked…). Here’s a fix.

So, Barcelona’s Big Snow disappeared in a single day, more or less, and we were back to spring colours. Boyf and I then ventured out for a couple of days to Girona, which is very different in atmosphere – much quieter, apart from all the building work going on.

When you’re studying galaxy clusters, it doesn’t pay to be in a hurry. Harald Ebeling (University of Hawaii) is an expert on the matter, working with a catalog of over a thousand such clusters in a new study of the so-called ‘dark flow,’ the apparent motion of galaxy clusters along a path centered on the southern constellations Centaurus and Hydra. Says Ebeling: “It takes, on average, about an hour of telescope time to measure the distance to each cluster we work with, not to mention the year…

One of the things that often gets sacrificed to the beautiful regularity of type is the quirky individuality of handwriting, with its swashes, ligatures, and shorthand. Early medieval books copied in Latin were full of abbreviations, rubrics, and illuminated capitals that printers like Caxton tried to emulate, while making their books and broadsides more legible.
