Image: GrrlScientist, 3 July 2009 [larger view]. (raw image) Ah, the breakfast of champions: licorice and chocolate. Well, and coffee (not pictured, but you get the idea). My host finally awoke (I had been awake for hours, watching birds, playing on my laptop, and torturing the cat) and he gave me a meal consisting of licorice, chocolate and coffee. Dessert was a bowl of yogurt topped with muesli. A perfect way to start the day in beautiful Helsinki. Read the rest of this post... | Read the comments on this post...

(raw image) Now that my Flickr accounts allow me to upload dozens of images once more, I am back to cramming them full to bursting with images for the photoessays that I wish to share with you from my time in Helsinki, Finland. As you can see from the above image, summer is absolutely spectacular in Helsinki.

Here's my list of birds seen in the Helsinki area of Finland during my two visits. Even though I only visited for 8 days in November 2008, I actually went out on a birding trip with several grad students from the University of Helsinki, while I only once went birding during my much longer February/March 2009 visit -- to see the Eagle-owls that are nesting on the Lutheran Church (name?) in downtown Helsinki.

On my last day in Helsinki, my host and I walked through the northwestern portions of the city (Etu-Töölö -- my recent featured Image of the Day includes images from this walk) to visit several places, including Sibeliuksenpuisto (Sibelius Park) where the famous monument is located and Hietaniemen hautausmaa (Hietaniemi cemetery).

The crew were great and the plane wasn't as jam-packed as the flight leaving NYC was .. I wonder why? Perhaps the children of Finnish immigrants are doing the same thing as the children of Polish and Indian immigrants are reportedly doing: leaving this country and going to their ancestral homes because the economic opportunities are somewhere close to nonexistent in America. Not that I blame them and in fact, I would eagerly do the same if I could. Read the rest of this post... | Read the comments on ...

As the title says, one month from today, I will be on an eight-and-a-half hour flight from NYC to Helsinki, Finland! I will be there for eight days and I am very excited! Even though I am of Finnish ancestry, I know exactly nothing about Finland, so I am asking you, the experts, about what I should plan to see and do while I am there.

Over 450 people visited, the scientific programm was impressive. It was hard (almost impossible) to choose sessions that could be skipped, to explore the city and country more. For me it was an extremely intense, unforgettable conference, perfectly organised by our Finnish colleagues. Their openness and involvement was tremendous. Here are some links to get more info, if you can not wait for more posts. Because I will be writing a lot about the conference! Some really cool stuff has been shown and I want to share it.

The change departs from the 1989 Declaration of Helsinki protecting human subjects in clinical research, the FDA’s previous standard, according to Integrity in Science Watch. The new rule’s substitute standard says foreign trials should follow good clinical practices and include a review and approval by an independent ethics committee. A major difference between the Helsinki Declaration and GCP is the former’s insistence on using existing treatments instead of placebos if they are available, ISW writes, adding that the Helsinki Declaration had the effect of extending existing treatments to...
