First, congratulations to FlyGal, who's farewell post So long and thanks for all the fish was published in the June Scientiae blog carnival. The theme this month was moving forward and we've heard rumors that FlyGal is indeed moving forward the way she hoped. Stop by the carnival to read other inspirational stories as well.
Some other interesting reads for you this weekend include:
- A New England Journal of Medicine piece on the FDA as a public health agency written by the new FDA director, Margaret Hamburg and Joshua Sharfstein, the principal deputy commissioner.
- The WSJ Health Blog is live blogging details about the H1N1 virus and Ed Yong over at Not Exactly Rocket Science has a good breakdown on the origins of the now pandemic swine flu.
- El Nino may be upon us again.
- If your pocket periodic table is wearing around the edges (you know you have one), it may be time for an upgrade. Welcome super-heavy element 112.
I have to say, I'm looking forward to using El Nino as an excuse for everything.
