I am a science writing and communications professional, which means I get excited about a lot of different things. I manage communications for an academic research center in the Washington, DC area.
I am a voracious reader, a political junkie, and a little bit of a technophile too.
Hi ATW! I had the same reaction to yours from Dr. Brewer’s WSJ column. $1800 for a website seen as outrageous money, when the middle-class American is doling out 5% of household disposable income on technology — it’s an interesting dichotomy. On the subject of people using the Internet for health, please take a look at the white paper I wrote for the California HealthCare Foundation called, “The Wisdom of Patients.” People are way ahead of health institutions on the frontlines of social media and health. http://www.chcf.org/topics/chronicdisease/index.cfm?itemID=133631
