June 9th, 2010 Editor's Selections 23 Comments
Travis Saunders selects several notable posts each week from Health and Clinical Research. He blogs at Obesity Panacea.
- What does the vagal nerve have to do with bulimia? Potentially everything. A terrific new post by Scicurious of Neurotopia.
- Can statin drugs prevent Alzheimer’s disease? Brainposts says it’s too early to tell for sure, but it looks promising so far.
- Oiled Seabirds: To kill or not to kill? GrrlScientist asks “What is the ethical to do?”
- Do narcotic contracts prevent narcotic abuse? Dr Peter Lipson of Science-Based Medicine looks at the state of the evidence.
I’ll be back with more Health Selections next week!
