My scientific specialty is chronobiology (circadian rhythms and photoperiodism), with additional interests in comparative physiology, animal behavior and evolution. I am not an MD so I cannot diagnose and treat your sleep problems. As well as writing this blog, I am also the Online Discussion Expert for PLoS. This is a personal blog and opinions within it in no way reflect the policies of PLoS. You can contact me at: Coturnix@gmail.com

Then, when we were done, we celebrated with a brand new bottle of Croatian slivovitz, tasting just like home, courtesy of Anton's Cleveland friend. Thanks, Anton, the bottle safely made it home and…
Just finished with the Skills Sessions. About a dozen new blogs were started there. Everyone works at their own pace, so I'll give them a few days to get their feet wet before I link to them, blogroll them and ask you all to give them some commenting love! They look really promising so far!…

Criticize Congress go to jail?
"In what sounds like a comedy sketch from Jon Stewart's Daily Show, but isn't, the U. S. Senate would impose criminal penalties, even jail time, on grassroots causes and citizens who criticize Congress.
