Where was I? I heard the cop sirens going on by. But I was pretty sure I wasn’t in New York. I open my eyes slowly. Yup, my sinuses still hurt. I get up and look out the hotel window. Ah, yes, I was in Kentucky. I put […]
The concept of peer review has been deconstructed and reconstructed by countless others, but I still feel compelled to add my two cents, particularly in light of recent journal articles on how scientists may feel disenchanted with the whole process. Not that many articles actually get entirely rejected, […]
Oh, here we go again. Point that finger, walk around and give that smirk a workout. Yes, I am watching the debate. The gloves are off. They are jabbing and punching: Metaphorically-speaking of course. Although, they have come quite close to each other a few times there on […]
In Observation of National Latino AIDS Awareness Day During my college tenure the United States had its first Hispanic Surgeon General, who also happened to be the first woman to ever hold that position. Unfortunately, I was so immersed in my studies and overall college experience that I did […]

As we become advanced technologically and find new ways to address global disparities (e.g. use of mobile technology to encourage health seeking behaviors), we […]
It’s not a popular thing to state. I don’t even think Governor Romney said it. Ok. But, I’m going to admit it..I hate Big Bird. Maybe HATE is too strong a term to use. How about this? I really don’t like Big Bird. He’s whiny and mopey. He’s […]
On my way to get my hair all prettied up, I passed the Occupy Protesters camped out in Zuccotti Park. I felt a wave of nostalgia. Not nostalgia for my college days (I am a Gen Xer –there was not much we protested). Not nostalgia for my fresh-out-of-college-so-I-am-dirt-poor […]
