What Is It About 20-Somethings?
The traditional cycle seems to have gone off course, as young people remain untethered to romantic partners or to permanent homes, going back to school for lack of better options, traveling, avoiding commitments, competing ferociously for unpaid internships or temporary (and often grueling) Teach for America jobs, forestalling the beginning of adult life.

Bridging the Divide between Science and Journalism
Bridging the divide between science and journalism
Laura Van Eperen , Francesco M Marincola and Jennifer Strohm
Journal of Translational Medicine 2010, 8:25doi:10.1186/1479-5876-8-25
Published: 10 March 2010
Abstract (provisional)
There are countless reasons nearly every scientist should learn how to communicate effectively with the media, including increased understanding of critical research findings to attract or sustain funding and build new professional partnerships that will further propel forward research. But where do scientists begin? Bridging the Divide between Science and Journalism offers practical tips for any scientist looking to work with the media. Given the traditional and internet-based sources for medical research and healthcare-related news now available, it is imperative that scientists know how to communicate their latest findings through the appropriate channels. The credible media channels are managed by working journalists, so learning how to package vast, technical research in a form that is appetizing and "bite-sized" in order to get their attention, is an art. Reducing years of research into a headline can be extremely difficult and certainly doesn't come naturally to every scientist, so this article provides suggestions on how to work with the media to communicate your findings.

Unnecessary Research
You will often see in this blog mentions of 'unnecessary research,' most often having to do with the NIH or a speech linking K. Sebelius with Elmo. Here's an example:
