Doctors and Dying – "We all need to come to terms with death in our own private way, but often those terms are not private because they drive our use (for ourselves or others) of increasingly expensive health care. Two essays over the last year by doctors explored this issue, noting that when doctors face their own mortality they often make different health care decisions for themselves than the general public."
Who takes dietary supplements, and why? – Interesting, science-based article about vitamins and other supplements. I admit that I have been taking a "woman's formula" multi vitamin regularly since I lost all that weight last year.
Here are links I found interesting on February 16, 2013:
Discovering Twitter – Blogger, photographer, and science guy Bryan Jones discusses his history with Twitter and why he uses it.
A Most Peculiar Test Drive – Just what was New York Times "reviewer" John Broder up to when he panned the Tesla Model S? This Tesla blog post presents the actual numbers behind Broder's test drive and makes some conclusions.
Blog Exercises: Weekly Link Roundups – Lorelle discusses using link lists in blog posts and uses one of my Interesting Links posts as a visual example. Am I being lazy by having this automated?
Twitter’s Broken Promise to Protect Free Speech – "It must stand by its “tweets will flow” stance in every case if it’s to demonstrate that it stands for principles, and not just marketing." Agreed.
