Quick blog round-up here:
I don’t have time for a regular post today but I’ve found some good links recently that need to be shared:
1) Marjory and Gordon Cameron have a new blog about Marjory’s breast cancer. Gordon is a family doctor and Marjory is a nurse. Their blog has some great information about breast cancer treatments and research a lot of which I don’t have time to cover here. So if you are looking for more specific information or want to follow one person’s story about how they are dealing with their situation - you should read their blog: Beating Breast Cancer
Good Luck Marjory - I hope it all goes well!
2) You may not have heard of Barbara Ehrenreich. She’s written a few books. One of which I read some time ago - Nickel and Dimed - which is about the struggles many people in the US experience working minimum wage types of jobs. She went undercover and worked at some of these places to see if she could really make ends meet, etc. She has a newer book now too, which I haven’t read yet. Well, she has a blog now too. She has a regular web site too, I don’t know why she didn’t put her blog there though instead of blogs.com. Here’s the link: Barbara’s Blog.
3) Here’s another health story I just came across today but don’t have time to look up information to blog about it: Plastics chemical alters female brains. A brief - very brief - summary is that a substance found in polycarbonate plastic (bisphenol A) such as the resin lining food cans and dental sealants can leach out and that bisphenol A behaves a lot like estrogen. More research needs to be done though, but if bisphenol A does get into our food and does cause health problems it is a concern. To soon to say for certain though. The abstract for the paper is here:http://endo.endojournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/en.2006-0189v1
4) And lastly I want to say ‘Hello!’ to the people I met last night at Liz’s Successful Blog open mike post: Liz, Joe, Chris Cree, Ben, Claire and Mike - and I’m sorry if I missed anyone!
Thanks for making me feel welcome and putting up with my Dr. Who obsession! (A Dr. Who blog - what do you think? Should I do it?)

Thank YOU for putting up with us and all our weirdness last night!
I poked around a bit on your blog here and I see you have tons of great info on women’s health. Good stuff for sure!
I think the Dr. Who blog is a great idea and would be a good compliment to your collection. I bet you find more fans out there than you realize.
Enjoy!

Hi Trisha,
It was so nice to have you. How are the butterflies-to-be in that garden. I think you did miss a few folks who were there . . . The Teacher, The Doctor, and oh yeah, Ben’s donkey.

Liz - I had a couple of butterflies come out of their chrysalids already - haven’t had time to update anything about it yet on my butterfly blog. I will be back by again as soon as I have the time, I have to work on some interview questions from Hsien Hsien Lei for her Genetics and Health blog first.
Chris - Thanks! The thing I wonder about with a Dr. Who blog is that people in the UK have seen all the new episodes long before we do and so have probably already blogged about them. But I might still do it.

My name is Ruby i am working on a big project at high school about blogs. I hope you don’t mind me mailing a few words on this text as my tutor needs to see it. Your blog is really good by the way.
