Writing Science, Clearly
A fun bit of information about my website. The word cloud (see image above) of all the text used on aimbiomedical.com shows the words used most often in the largest font size. Medical gets top billing, followed closely by publication, guidelines, scientific, writer, and writing. Interesting to see the data presented that way.
In a previous post, I discussed women’s health issues, including the different responses that men and women have to medicine. Tonight CBS will air a report on how drugs affect men and women differently.
“Differences between sexes are more pervasive than previously thought; scientists call for a re-examination of medical research, including drug dosages, based on sex.”
The report focuses on a popular sleep drug, Ambien (zolpidem), for which women’s blood levels were 45% higher than men’s.
