End-of-the-Week Review: HIV, OTA, IMF, GMOs
Here’s a quick look at some of the science policy discussions going on in the blog realm this week.
Effect Measure wonders if the unpublished CDC study reporting that up to 50 percent more Americans have HIV than we thought was just another victim of the administration’s suppression.
Michael Stebbins posted on Scientists and Engineers for America’s blog about the new, searchable OTA archive and included a video of Rush Holt talking about why OTA was awesome.
JR Minkel on Scientific American comments on a study (which is hotly contested by the IMF) that finds a correlation between IMF loans and tuberculosis deaths.
Bioethics.net’s Summer Johnson draws our attention to a particularly undesirable effect of high gas prices: cuts in home health services.
Curtis Brainard at CJR provides a very thorough analysis of the renewed interest in GM crops and their potential to solve the food crisis.
Kaid Benfield at NRDC’s Switchboard chides the environmental movement for failing to be more vocal about obesity and its environmental causes, and later in the week posts about how Google Maps can now help.
