Website redesign on the way
June 4, 2010
Hi there,
We are looking forward to a redesign of the
BioEdge website in the not-too-distant future. Do you have any suggestions to
make it more attractive and useful – for research, study or general interest? Get
in there early!
One feature that we are keen to exploit is the
Facebook paraphernalia which we have added recently. Try them out. It’s a very
easy way to share articles with your friends.
This week’s selection of articles is a bit
on the light side, with a YouTube video of a thrash death metal song from Fear
Factory about assisted suicide and a bizarre attempted murder in California
which might qualify as a “mercy killing”. But there are weighty stories
aplenty, as well…
Cheers,
Michael Cook
