We’re taking a page from our good friend @Berci, whose ScienceRoll blog has won numerous awards. He frequently runs an introduction post for new subscribers, to show them around the place and let them know all the things he’s up to. We’re stealing it: we’ll run this on the first Sunday of each month!

This is the blog of the Society for Participatory Medicine
