Lazy linking - gotta catch up
Here are a few links which has caught my attention the last few days (all links open in new windows).
Annals of the Malaria War: Legions of Health Workers Launch an Attack - an interesting blogpost on the fight against malaria going on in Africa.
These Nuclear Physicists Think David Suzuki Is Exaggerating about Fukushima - I don't generally link to Vice, which I think is generally a horrible magazine, but this article is actually pretty interesting. They interview other nuclear physicists about the claims made by David Suzuki about Fukushima. Good skeptical journalism.
Groups of diverse problem solvers can outperform groups of high-ability problem solvers
I can't remember if I've linked this one before, since it is a pretty old article, but it is well worth reading - it explains why diversity is a good thing. I will probably write a blogpost about this at some stage.
The Bloody Benders, America's First Serial Killers - not science related, just history related.
Rachel Maddow Nails How Utterly Nutty Wis GOP Has Become (Now With Even More Voter Suppression). I think it is safe to say that certain parts of the GOP is not exactly trying to ensure that they represent the interest of all the citizens, or even the majority.
In the Ivory Tower, Men Only. "For men, having children is a career advantage. For women, it’s a career killer."
Why insurance is the wrong model for health care. It cannot be repeated often enough.
Reducing the World's Most Powerful Woman to a Dress. As I wrote on facebook when posting this link:

Reducing the World's Most Powerful Woman to a Dress. As I wrote on facebook when posting this link:
- It is extremely US-centric. A candidate for heading the Federal Reserve is hardly the most powerful woman in a world where Angela Merkel is the chancellor of Germany.
- That being said, the greater point of the article still stand - why are there different standards for men and women?
