Yes, it's Wednesday again and here's the latest and greatest goodies on the 'net. Enjoy!
Editing takes all the fun out of it
I was really stunned when I initially saw this story on the BBC website about how blonde women were more aggressive. The story must have pretty inflammatory (and they removed the Margaret Thatcher photo), so it was revised to reflect the researcher's actual research. Darn, it would have been fun posting this at work when it was about hair color!
A little rehab
We talk about lots of conditions that can cause you to end up in rehab at the Hotel--brain injury, spinal cord injury, and especially stroke. This article from this past weekend's NY Times is about strokes in children called Children Don't Have Strokes? Just ask Jared, which is a great article about this not-so-uncommon problem in pediatrics.
Battle of the sexes
As Gilda Radner used to say, "It's always something." Here are some recent articles of interest about men and women, inequality, housework and marriage.
Female Scientists Do More Housework (from the Chronicle for Higher Education) The first line is one of the best mental pictures for this type of article.
More Men Marrying Wealthier Women (from NY Times) It's an interesting trend.
Health and informatics
2 Nurses emerge as leaders in informatics A press release from AMIA, the American Medical Informatics Association.
Finally, just start jogging away from the desk right after you read this: Experts: Sitting too much could be deadly (from AP via Yahoo!)
