I am a research scientist, performing research into the molecular basis of cancer for many years. I’ve just recently set up a blog site, http://sciencexplained.blogspot.com, designed to explain new breakthroughs in biomedical research to a readership with little or no formal biology training. There are currently 4 postings on the site. One discusses genetics of muscle-type regulation and implications for obesity/diabetes treatment; another the potential of RNA interference in disease treatment; the role of clock genes in alcoholism and other addictions and the most recent post on embryonic stem cell research progress and setbacks.
Check it out if you’re interested.
