This 2008 I hope to be a good year. The last was surely memorable. The next should live up to its sisters and brothers. The year started with a book by an incredible writer by the name of Atul Gawande.
This man is a cool man. He proposes the following five suggestions to live a better life as a doctor of medicine, but this should apply to life:
- Ask unscripted questions
- Change
- Don't Complain
- Count Something
- Write
Interestingly and relevantly, the most recent issue of Chemical and Engineering News highlights a new polymer that is potentially well suited to connect live tissue with artificial limbs. PEDOT or poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) should be able to carry electric current from biological ions in tissue to synthetic electrons in artificial limbs. This technology is being developed by Biotectix, a University of Michigan spin off company.

What did the momma Buffalo say to her son when he went to college?
