Online, about being online 12 Jul 2008 My paper in TREE is now available as an in-press corrected proof. It is titled “The roles, reasons and restrictions of science blogs”, so thanks to you guys (and Bob O’Hara in particular) for the raw material and opportunities. Administrative
Administrative COSMOS – a cool magazine 1 Jan 2008 Today I received my copy of COSMOS (not Cosmo, you perves!) in which my article appeared. I have to say (and not just because they showed the good taste to print me) that this is one of the better science magazines I have seen. It reminds me of OMNI at… Read More
Administrative Gratitude and humility 25 Oct 201125 Oct 2011 I sent this out this morning to a slew of folk: Dear all I am sending this to you as a mass mailing because I have been overwhelmed by the sheer number and generosity of donors since my pathetic begging letter. God, by the way, has told me that he… Read More
Administrative Apologies to my commenters 28 Sep 2007 I keep forgetting to check the “unpublished” list. If you put a link in, or use certain terms, the spam filters will hold it for approval. I am forgetful, and haven’t checked for a while, so apologies to those whoe comments were held for over a day. Read More
Nice article. Is: “If a blog is not deleted when it becomes active (and it is general good practice that it should not be)” a mistake, do you mean active?
I noticed that typo, too — I think you meant to write “inactive”. Also, I don’t think I’d label Dave Munger a medical blogger; he blogs on psychology at cogdaily.

And psych is a subset of medicine, nicht wahr? Nein. Psychiatry is a medical discipline. But psychology and cog-sci are studies of the mind. (In the US, psychiatrists are MDs, while psychologists are PhDs.) Saying psychology is a subset of medicine would be like saying that cell biology is a subset of medicine (at least that’s the way I see it).

Tell that to the medical students at my local university who have to spend four semesters studying psycology and writing difficult exams on the subject. You could also tell it to my health insurance who pay 120 Euro an hour to have a psycologist treat me for my mental illness 🙁

In the U.S. a psychologist does not have to be a PhD. She can have a MPsych, or an MA, MS, MEd. MCouns, as long as she has the required course work and certification. There are two psychologists in my family, one with a PhD and one with a MA. Both work[ed] as school psychologists.
