He currently runs two psychology blogs and a psychology and health forum serving his local area:
"I have a strong interest in the web and how it can be used to assist Psychologists in their professional development. I am particularly keen on educating health professional (particularly psychologists) about RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and how it can be used to create personalized news services. I got involved with MedWorm because of Frankie's commitment to providing health professionals with a powerful tool for finding and managing health and medical-related RSS feeds. I look forward to providing input on the further development of MedWorm with a particular focus on the Psychology side of things." Dr Uri Ginzburg - MedWorm Associate for Pediatrics Uri is a pediatrician in a private outpatient clinic based in Israel as well as an intern in a leading law firm.

"RSS is one of the most important things to happen to current awareness services in a very long time. LibWorm was created (and has been subsequently well received by Web-savvy information professionals) because the power of the model was so clearly demonstrated by MedWorm - and Frankie is only just getting started. MedWorm is already my favorite thing anyone has done with medical information and RSS and I'm excited to play any small role in developing it further."

"I'm pretty sure that web 2.0, the new generation of web services, will play (and already is playing) an important role in the future of medicine and medical education. These web tools, expert-based community sites, medical blogs and wikis can ease the work of physicians, scientists, medical students or medical librarians. As a medical blogger, I believe that the new generation of web services will change the way medicine is practiced and healthcare is delivered. " Michael Biel - MedWorm Associate for Speech-Language Pathology Mike is a speech-language pathologist working in a medical setting, and a student at the University of Pittsburgh working towards a clinical doctorate degree in speech-language pathology.

He co-runs a private Wiki for Master's level students in speech pathology and is soon to launch a website focusing on issues related to speech pathology in medical settings. "RSS has been a great tool for me, both as a student and a clinician. As a clinician it's made staying up to date with various journals I keep track of much easier than getting email alerts. As a student, I've used it to incrementally collect references over time for different projects I have. Fortunately, Frankie has been a great help in creating the Speech-Language Pathology RSS directory. Now I don't have to use other services to filter RSS feeds from different databases."

Interested in becoming a MedWorm Associate?Are you a medical professional with a keen interest in RSS and internet technologies? Maybe you would like to get involved with MedWorm and join a body of MedWorm Associates? MedWorm Associates are people who are happy to endorse MedWorm for use in their own area of expertise and are keen to find ways in which we might work together to promote the use of RSS among medical professionals. All MedWorm Associates will have their profile and details of their own website(s) listed on MedWorm. MedWorm now receives over 3000 visitors each day (not including feed subscribers, a further 4000) so this would be a good opportunity for associates to get greater exposure to their own sites. The MedWorm Associate role includes: 1. Keeping an eye on their specialty in MedWorm, by looking through the feeds that are listed in that specialty, asking for feeds to be removed from that specialty when they are not appropriate and making suggestions for new feeds (eg. any major publications that are missing or medical associations). 2. Commenting on items in their specialty, thus stimulating MedWorm discussions. Associates should aim to make one comment per month. 3. Making suggestions on ways to further develop MedWorm and work in partnership with other sites, in particular their own site(s).
