"Helluva" Grand Rounds 2.37

By tsmith on June 6, 2006.

This week's Grand Rounds, a carnival o' medblogging, is up over at The Medical Blog Network. A few notables:

Dr. Deborah Serani discusses the benefits of naps; Mylifemypace on how marriage affects a scientific career; the Health Business blog on how George Bush is a louse enabler (OK, or on how No Child Left Behind and some schools' lice policies have come into conflict).
