SAD can actually affect people during any season, including the bright and sunny days during spring and summer months; however, according to a recent Swedish study, regardless of the similar symptoms, SAD doesn’t seem to be the culprit when it comes to the high number of suicides happening in places that experience extended sunlight like Sweden and Greenland. The researchers speculated that light-generated imbalances in serotonin — the brain chemical linked to mood — may lead to increased impulsiveness that in combination with a lack of sleep drives people to kill themselves. “We found that suicides were almost exclusively violent and incre...

I have often used it to have a peek into the source code of all kinds of embedded multimedia in websites. But now I want to share some new OpenSearch plugins I created via the MyCroft Project. You can see the (still small) list of my plugins, but I also just paste the list here, and see how it looks! Mycroft uses a script to hide the direct access to the plugin. So you will have to fill in the number of the plugin (via Mouseover!) in the search option to see the actual script.

Video is an increasingly important way for researchers to communicate their results, and BioMed Central is at the forefront of developments in this area. We encourage authors and editors to upload suitable videos to YouTube and contact us so that we can add these videos to the BioMed Central channel. The YouTube channel is here. I wonder what standard of comments to expect .

There are many to choose from, and if I am to be honest, most of them are not all that attractive. However, a few of the journals have some really snappy logos that make me want to publish with them (or at least buy their shirt).
