two new sites

A new blog, Science and Politics, and a new website, Public Library of Science. The former is a guy in Chapel Hill, Bora Zivkovic, who writes about puppy dogs and ice cream. I mean, science and politics. He's got a couple of other blogs, too, but that one seemed like the most interesting at the moment. He just interviewed John Edwards, whose office is in Chapel Hill (the whole damn world is against me, I hate Chapel Hill...sorry, Dad), about his positions on various science related topics. The interview is here if anyone wants to read it. The latter is the organization that Zivkovic works for, an open-access science research library, mostly consisting of peer-reviewed journals broken down by discipline (genetics, pathogens, computational biology, etc.). Mom, I'm not sure if you've heard of PloS, but if not it seems like it'd be right up your alley. Pretty cool stuff.
