It wishes to privatise everything in sight, not least universities and the National Health Service. Of course they don’t put it that way: they call it “reform”. It’s easier to deal with open ideology than with ideology disguised as social reform, but luckily a 10-year old could see through the weasel words. One example is the raising of tuition fees to £9,000 pa. It costs the taxpayers more than charging £3,000 did. Students obviously lose, and universities probably lose too. It takes a very blind form of ideology to devise a system in which all three parties lose money, for the sake of a principle. No doubt Education Minister David Willetts was moved by the same ideological considerations...

Doctors are illness experts –not healthcare experts . India just cannot keep up with the increasing demands the ever growing population puts on the healthcare infrastructure . The only effective solution is to empower everyone in the healthcare ecosystem with Information Therapy . The right information at the right time for the right person can be powerful medicine !However, this is still a very new concept in India. When people talk about the problems facing healthcare in India, the focus is primarily on the shortage of doctors – and how we need to invest more money in training new doctors. While opening new medical colleges is very profitable for politicians ( which is why they do this all the time), this does not address the underlying i...

Former Speaker Newt Gingrich and Vermont Governor Howard Dean sprinkled stories of constituents and personal experiences throughout their keynote addresses, as they made their respective (and mostly complementary) points on the healthcare reform debate. The first day’s keynote speakers, Gene Kranz of Mission Control and Commander Jim Lowell from Apollo 13, were all about storytelling. 99% of their stage time was a recounting of details of raw ingenuity and failure truly not being an option — and 45 minutes into the session, folks were still attentive enough to laugh and groan in all the right places. It’s like we’re hardwired to put everything aside and sit bac...

But, today (July 20) is the official tenth anniversary of when I registered the sciencebase.com domain. At that point I started to get serious about building up a science portal (as they were then known) and publishing regular science news, views, and interviews in a precursor to the blogging format. Quite by chance it’s also the fortieth anniversary of a slightly more globally significant event – the first manned moon landing… Anyway, in celebration of my small achievement as opposed to a giant leap, I was going to pick a few items from the archives to try and show just how diverse is Sciencebase coverage, but I suspect, eve...

Pathophilia finds that testoterone is not increased in autistic children. The Cambridge-based Autism Research Centre is also researching hormones in autistic individuals. The Foetal testosterone Longitudinal Study seeks to find out whether elevated levels of foetal testosterone are associated with a later diagnosis of autism spectrum conditions. The Current hormones Project is looking at whether current hormone levels might also be atypical in autism and Asperger Syndrome. And another project is looking specifically at puberty. Yes, as you may have guessed, I’ve got puberty—so to speak—on my mind. Charlie’s 11 (and five months, to be...
