Science Process Rage
02/13/2012

And now, for a fantastic treat!  The generous, creative and brilliant Paul Vallett, PhC, had a frustrating day one day in his lab, and while we would never wish him that, we are grateful for his transmogrifying that evil event into something brilliant and wonderful that sooooo exquisitely captures what life often looks like on the outside, but what insiders actually experience and know.  We’ve all been here, right!!?!?? Paul’s is about one of our most beloved topics, “Doing Science,” but it can stand in as metaphor to so much more…to.so.much.more…  And it is hilarious!!!  The URL title gives you a hint.  Thank you, Paul!  Happy Day all, Sheri

In the annual holiday issue of BMJ there is a dramatic find—the uncovering of our secret EBM movement. (Cult???) Did you all know that —

• There are 10 secret commandments (e.g., Commandment #4: Thou shalt neither publish nor read any case reports… Commandment #9: Mandatory retirement is required for all clinical experts within 10 days of their being declared experts).
• EBMers can be recognized by their socks (at least the Brit ones);
• Many, many more EBM secrets.

Sheri is now very excited to learn that she is a cult priestess. (Explains the sometimes wild jewelry.) If you would like some more holiday "EBM" and mirth go to — http://bmj.com/cgi/content/full/325/7378/1496

Thanks to Dr. Ted Ganiats for the find, and happy 2003 from i Delfini!
