Fourth, multiple grant review cycles are probably going to be necessary. Statistically speaking. We’re cutting into the revision cycle a little bit with the new limit to a single revision of a given proposal. But let’s not be dense. It will still take a number of submissions (including new and revisions) to have a decent chance at funding an R01. This takes time. Waiting for two years...

Swine Flu, God, and Us →
I do not know if we are facing a coming pandemic of swine flu that will rival the Black Death of ages past. I do know we can resist all the plagues of our world and fight against them with every resource we have, confident that God hates evil, too.

Just back from this week’s long run. Uneventful for the most part, colder and windier than last weekend with no euphoric episodes to lift me up. I left the dog brake at home so didn’t have…

Specifically, I’m referencing the incident at the Christmas Party when Stacy from accounting drunkenly fell into your lap. Instead of making a move, you helped her to a glass of water and called her a cab. James, in doing this, not only did you demonstrate a lack of initiative but you contributed negatively to the overall success of the party by removing a primary source of entertainment. In...

UCSF is having a little photo contest. The theme (education) is not particularly appealing to me in terms of visualization - too abstract, too diffuse, too high school graduation-y. Any ideas?…

Shoot Two Cameras: It’s as simple as that. We had to identical EX1 rigs with Nikon 50mm lenses and a single Nikon 105mm “micro” for nice extreme close-ups of details. Shooting two cameras never means having to say to an actor “can you do it again just like you did that last time?” All of our reaction shots are actual reactions to what’s being said. And, yes,...

Gunfight at the Basotho Corral, Part II →
Things have quieted down, although it seems there may have been a few skirmishes at foreign-owned businesses. Government of Lesotho finally released at statement this evening, saying the Prime Minister and his family are safe. A curfew has officially been imposed; it began at 6pm and lasts until 6am (April 23). Three of the mercenaries have been killed, one is injured and another is in custody....

Winning NCQA’s seal of approval is the gold standard in the health-care industry. And who do you suppose this year’s winner is: Johns Hopkins? Mayo Clinic? Massachusetts General? Nope. In every single category, the VHA system outperforms the highest rated non-VHA hospitals.
