Using RSS feeds

You can feed posts made to one blog onto another using RSS. Now you can see all the posts made on the Biomed blog on Magrath and viceversa. I just thought the sidebar was a better place to put it rather than the post area to differentiate between the posts in the two blogs. Feel free to comment on it and let me know of any changes that are required.

Tinkering with the Blog

Hi all,
Just an FYI -- over the next few weeks you may see a handful of odd postings coming over the Bio-Med reference blog. Our new graduate assistant in St. Paul, Prahlad Kilambi, is going to be tinkering with the blog interface to try to accomplish a couple different things. He'll likely be doing some tests in the process. If things pan out, one result might be an ability for us to cross-post items between the Bio-Med and Magrath blogs (since some life science news applies to both staffs).

-Kevin

Change in PubMed Limits for Animal and Human Studies

NLM put out this bulletin regarding some changes in MeSH's handling of the taxonomy of the Homonidae. The MeSH changes affect the limits in PubMed for limiting a search to "human" or "animal" studies.

The bulletin is at: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/nd04/nd04_human.html
