Contents: What topics science lovers link to the most Hemorrhoid venn diagram What topics science lovers link to the most Nov 23, 2011 12:45 am  •  Permalink Hilary Mason, chief scientist at bitly, examined links to 600 science pages and the pages that those people visited next: The results revealed which subjects were strongly and weakly associated. Chemistry was linked to almost no other science. Biology was linked to almost all of them. Health was tied more to business than to food. But why did fashion connect strongly to physics? And why was astronomy linked to genetics? The interactive lets you poke around the data, looking at connections sorted from weakest (fewer links) to strongest (more links), and nodes are organized such that topics with more links between each other are closer together. Natural next step: let me click on the nodes. [Scientific American via @hmason] Hemorrhoid venn diagram Nov 23, 2011 12:12 am  •  Permalink This past week I was shackled by a, um, condition where it was painful to move and difficult to concentrate, and Boost nutritional drinks were my friend, and solid foods were my enemy. (TMI?) I didn't even know this was an issue for people under 30. My caring wife, the ER doctor, looked it up in her medical dictionary, Hardwood-Nuss' Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine, and this is what she found. I guess venn diagrams are used for other things besides song lyrics and comics. Take your fiber this Thanksgiving holiday. Thank me later.

The Cynical Girl: Writing for Salary (dot) com

---

Writing for Salary (dot) com Posted: 22 Nov 2011 03:45 AM PST I really love salary.com for a million reasons. The whole website is built on the democratization of financial information, which is a healthy concept. It is very subversive, which is why HR professionals always try to undermine the legitimacy of the site. “The data isn’t 100% accurate,” they tell you. It’s better than the NO DATA you’ll receive from a company that’s about to make you a low-ball offer. And salary.com affiliates itself with universities, great writers, and great thinkers. It’s a pretty sweet site, which is why I was excited to receive a very kind and generous offer to blog for them. Unfortunately, I turned it down because they can’t pay me and I’m one of those crazy writers who wants to be paid. Great. Now one of my chumpy fellow bloggers can scoop up that opportunity, undermine the market, and drive down salaries. How ironic. The site is very robust and the brand is going through a nice overhaul. The offer to write and be exposed to millions of impressions is tempting but impressions don’t pay the bills. It’s a long winter here in Raleigh. I need to stack cheddar. Let me know if you are interested in writing for free so I can put you in touch with someone over there — and then I’ll try to talk you out of it. Actually, no, you go first and write for free. Then you can tell me how those millions of impressions are converted to monetized relationships. Then I’ll do it.
