Mohan Matthen, a philosopher of biology, has a very nice takedown of Thomas Nagel's qualified support for teaching creationism on his blog. Hat tip Leiter.
Richard Losick has an excellent piece on the problems of using cultured lab strains when studying microbes, at Small Things Considered.
A new blog on politics and science, A Vote for Science, has started up at the mothership. Hopefully, when the present unpleasantness in the US has concluded for four years, we can get onto some wider and more interesting matters.

Your CPAP and You
The only advice I can give is, get used to it. Being ready for bed helps a lot. Not fretting about being woken up in the middle of the night because you stopped breathing or can't breathe helps a lot too.
Get used to wearing the mask, be ready for bed, and don't fret about being able to breathe. That should help. Good luck.
