“Lives” Column in the Sunday Times
January 17, 2012 | Leave a Comment

January 9, 2012 | Leave a Comment
It’s time once again for Articles of Note. These are a selection from the late December and January peer-reviewed journals that have caught my attention. Remember, it’s in no way a comprehensive or exhaustive list, but it’s an excellent place to start. The majority of the links will take you to PubMed. There are also [...]

As with all guides, this does not claim to be comprehensive; just a good starting place with some of the [...]

November 21, 2011 | Leave a Comment
November 25th begins 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence. From the site: Participants chose the dates November 25- International Day Against Violence Against Women-and December 10- International Human Rights Day- in order to symbolically link violence against women and human rights and to emphasize that such violence is a violation of human rights. This 16-day period [...]
