mcewen: Hi there! You don't have to be a medical expert to answer those questions truthfully. In fact, almost all bloggers could answer them in some shape or form. If you do it, let me know so I can add you to my list of participants!

Hmm. Don’t suppose there’s a chance of a sub group, like a ‘patient’ logo, or ‘parent of patient[s]‘ logo that might be a little more appropriate for us mere amateurs?
Cheers dears and best wishes

Thanks for the comment, Marie. Congratulations on your one-year blogging anniversary. We had a good time celebrating too! Send me the link to your post answering the 10 questions, I'd be happy to add you to the honor roll.

Hsien, you and I have corresponded before, but I just noticed that our blogs started at similar times–April, 2005. Congratulations to us both for completing that critical first year.

The geneforum blog, Genetizen, is listed on your blog list, but I can see that we need to move up the ladder to make it to your “trusted” sites list. Thanks for the challenge! I intend to answer the 10 questions and finally get around to HON certification.

You and I have a different focus, based–I believe on the same values of honesty and accuracy. As you already know, we’re both Hopkins grads–but, my PhD in genetics was earned MANY years ago.

Geneforum’s focus is educating the public so they can make public policy decisions consistent with accurate information and their personal beliefs. I hope your readers will hop over sometime.

Good idea.

I will be doing this on my site soon- when I am less “fibro-fogged”!

Hoping to do my part for the arthitis and fibromyalgia community by putting by training to good use!

[...] Not so long ago I read this post by Dr. Hsien Hsien Lei, PhD on Genetics and Health blog on topic of credibility of health-related web logs. While I can’t call my blog purely health-related, I write health-related post here, mostly questioning health benefits of infrared saunas. [...]
