Link: Overheard in the Science Blogosphere: Lessons in speaking out before tenure [Preview]

Description:

Women in Physics: Why do people do nothing? [Physwomen] - The blog post that the Chair of the Physics Department at Vanderbilt University doesn't want you to see, written by a science blogger and professor who may have just put his job on the line to speak up for female graduate students and post-docs in his department. (See also, Things you shouldn't say in a tenure-track job interview.) (Image credit: Kerry Soper)

More science games! Match the disease with the celebrity [Ah Yes, Medical School] - What do diabetic foot ulcers, the ebola virus, herpes enchephalitis, C. difficile colitis, and MRSA have to do with Madonna, the Bush White House, Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, and Kim Jong Il? Let's just say this is why I never wanted to go to medical school.

Fat people are causing global warming! [Inkycircus] - And if we just walked everywhere we needed to go, we could solve obesity AND global warming.

The one year video blog [The Show with Ze Frank] - Deep in his diatribe regarding web video traffic ratings, Ze Frank mentions that his video blog "The Show" will end on March 17th, 2007, "whether I have one eyeball or a million." Get your duckies before they're gone.

Is chemistry no longer the central science? [Interfacial Science] - Maybe now I'll stop feeling bad about the Element List chemistry link section being rather thin. Oh, and Interfacial Science blogger quit his blog and has moved on to take some mysterious new job on the East Coast. You mean bloggers have real lives?
