Topics
I've called this section of the weblog the "topics" section. Unlike the "reviews" section, entries here often don't review anything. Sometimes they are just links to other sites with comments; sometimes they are contextualizations of material I find elsewhere.
The section is divided into categories where I put things. The biggest categories are "meta", which is blogging about science and blogging, "biotech", which has entries about biotechnology and society, and "humor", where you can decide for yourself if I have any.
Here are the categories:
And following are short excerpts of the entries in each category:
