When Piper Kerman was 34, she was sent to federal prison for a ten-year-old drug smuggling and money laundering offense. She spent 13 months in a minimum-security correctional facility for women in Danbury, CT, which isn’t necessarily what you’d expect from a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Smith graduate and Red Sox fan from a nice, New England family. Piper’s excellent memoir about her prison experience, Orange Is the New Black, was just published by Random House – with back cover blurbs by Dave Eggers and Elizabeth Gilbert (not too shabby for a first-time writer). Piper sat down with Blisstree for the afternoon to discuss all asp...

Mention "VA" to any group of doctors and you are sure to hear funny stories; a great many doctors have at least some of their medical training within VA hospitals, and those hospitals are full of characters among both their staff and their patients. VA hospitals have various frustrating aspects you'd expect from a large federal bureaucracy. But they also share a common sense of purpose and community unusual in other hospitals. Because of their commitment to a particular group, they feel almost like massive community health centers, in which there is a sense of shared purpose built not on organizational advancement but on the welfare of the community which the organization serves. It's this part of the VA which makes it a... hemodynamics blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3208404 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 14:53:00 +0100 3208404 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3201737&cid=t_172700_93_f&fid=35707&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FHemodynamics%2F%7E3%2FkTKXHFmw-2Q%2Fveterans-administration-linux-of.html I just spent three weeks in our local Veteran's Administration system.

Many excellent posts by Deepak on the topic of workflows have got me thinking about the subject. I very much like the notion that all analysis in computational biology should be automated and repeatable, so far as is practicable. However, I’ve not yet experienced a “workflow epiphany”. There are some impressive and interesting projects around, notably Taverna and myExperiment, but I see these as prototypes and testbeds for how the future might look, rather than polished solutions usable by the “average researcher”. I also can never quite escape the feeling that this type of workflow doesn’t describe how many researchers go about their business, at least in academia. Wrong directions, dead ends, trial and error... What You're Doing Is Rather Desperate blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1284733 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 05:18:55 +0100 1284733
