Unless you've been living under a rock, or you are the CEO of Seed Media Group (SMG), you are well aware that Bora Zivkovic left ScienceBlogs 24 hours ago. Shockingly, despite this important loss, Adam Bly, CEO of SMG, has not communicated with any of us who remain at ScienceBlogs about this loss…

Weekend Diversion: Happy Halloween 2010!
"Dusty Rhodes, do you think you're what our forefathers were thinking about when they thought up the American Dream? Ooooh, yeah, I don't think so." -Macho Man Randy Savage Those of you who've known me for any length of time know that Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and know that I put a whole lot of effort into my costumes.

Jess Ainscough, Belle Gibson, and "wellness warriors" vs. cancer
Recent articles in The Daily Mail and The Australian reminded me that it's been over a month since the unfortunate demise of Jess Ainscough, a young Australian woman who was diagnosed with an epithelioid sarcoma of her left upper extremity in 2008.
