Antonio, Thank you for the terribly insight research--it is refreshing to see in this world where anyone can publish anything, such quality studies substantiated by such profoundly elucidating representations of the data ;) Have referred some perspective grad students to it on my Facebook--we all need positive role models...keep up the good work!

According to the author, intensive use of electronic media is linked to increased morbidity/mortality for cancer. I had already addressed that in post on my blog. Today it is a pleasure to announce that, based on questionable data and on problematic assumptions, I have come out with a seemingly preposterous claim: actually Internet cures cancer! To read all about it, please visit http://www.bodyspacesociety.eu/2009/04/19/new-discovery-actually-internet-cu... Feel free to forward to anyone interested: this may save millions of lives...
