"Todd Park has served as HHS’s Chief Technology Officer since August 2009. In this role, his mission is to be a change agent and “entrepreneur-in-residence,” helping HHS harness the power of data, technology, and innovation to improve the health of the nation. Prior to joining HHS, Mr. Park co-founded Athenahealth and co-led its development into one of the most innovative health IT companies in the industry. He also cofounded Castlight, a web-based health care shopping service for consumers. Mr. Park has also served in a volunteer capacity as a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress, where he focused on health IT and health reform policy, and as senior health care advisor to Ashoka, a leading global incubator of social entrepreneurs, where he helped start Healthpoint Services, a venture to bring affordable telehealth, drugs, diagnostics, and clean water to rural India. Mr. Park graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard College with an A.B. in economics. " - Mickey Schafer

lol: "As an antidote to Beloit College's annual Mindset List (the latest version is being released this week), designed to orient faculty and administrators to the cultural touchstones that have shaped the lives of incoming freshmen, I hereby offer, for the benefit of students and administrators, a similar list of characteristics of faculty members who were born before 1980 and who teach at public institutions. Are faculty members' mind-sets less important than students'? If you prick our mind-sets, do they not bleed?" - Mickey Schafer

"heir findings, published this month in the journal PLoS One, may help scientists derive better hypotheses to determine what contributes to coral disintegration." Woo hoo! - Mickey Schafer

Okay -- unless I am missing something really obvious, this so-called "networking" and "collaboration" tool doesn't even allow you to mark the people/pages that you are interested in! I find no way of creating groups, a "people of interest" file, nothing. I can find none of the simplest tools for social interaction. I am currently on the page of someone in "clinical and transformational research informatics", thinking what a great find this person is considering I was just playing around with links, but there's no box to check, no way to do anything other than bookmark the page. What a freaking waste of $$!! - Mickey Schafer

And here is what I wondered: were they cheating, or were they making use of available resources to their best advantage? - Mickey Schafer

at UF, our student honor policy states the "unauthorized collaboration" is cheating. I am puzzled by the word "collaboration" in this policy. I saw kids openly collaborating to everyone's advantage, making use of individual strengths. Yes, it can be argued that they were not learning to play the game better as individuals; but that POV seems so "not the point". - Mickey Schafer

"DRM-free content also means that consumers won't be locked in to one particular format. As it currently stands, DRM is one mechanism that prevents users from sharing e-books; but it also means that Kindle owners can't read Nook content, and Nook owners can't load their iBooks onto their devices. But DRM is only part of the problem here; file formats are another. Rowling says that the books will be made available for all formats - to Kindle, iPad, Nook owners alike." - Mickey Schafer

interesting talk -- especially like his mention of how youtube has added an important dimension to reporting science, especially for those experiments that are hideously difficult to convey in words. - Mickey Schafer
