ANNOTATED BOOKMARKS

Do We Need a Scientific Literature? - Deep Thoughts and Silliness - Bob O'Hara's blog on Nature Network
Insightful post on scientific literature. "This got me wondering – why do we consider peer reviewed research to be important? I’d actually suggest that peer review is of secondary importance, so I’ll discuss that later (if I remember). So, why do we need a scientific literature?"
Technology Review: Blogs: TR Editors' blog: Genetic Tests on the Horizon
"The latest in genetic testing from the Consumer Genetics Conference."

"Medical Textbooks Revealed: The Naked Truth, from the people who brought you Flesh and Bones is a website essentially written by medical students for medical students and aims to take the 'irk' out of the sometimes irksome task of choosing the right medical textbooks for you...who better to guide you through this maze than your peers and ensure you spend your precious cash in the very best way?"
Michael Nielsen » Is scientific publishing about to be disrupted?
An interesting essay on disruption and some lessons to be learned from newspapers. I don't entirely agree with the prescription Michael offers though.
