Hi! It’s the b5 media theme dayand it’s all about getting back to school. Thanks Kristina Chew at AutismVox for hosting it this month! Check out my fellow b5 bloggers, there’s some great articles!
So here’s my contribution to the day. Not quite full on genetics but the subject matter is about our kids ever increasingly sedentary […]
About a year ago, I posted about a “new” skin cancer gene and mentioned Tricia E. Black’s blog - teb’s page. She’d been told in May 2005 that she had stage IV melanoma, which was a recurrence from a first encounter in high school.

This week’s Genetics and Health featured blog is hearing/loss: “a journal of a ‘post-lingual acquired hearing loss in adulthood,’ or how I went deaf - and got a cochlear implant - at 39.” Ronnie began to lose her hearing in her 30’s probably due to some high doses of antibiotics given to her when […]
