An interactive annotated bibliography of the history of medicine, biology and dentistry from c. 2000 BCE to c. 1980 by Fielding H. Garrison, Leslie T. Morton, and Jeremy M. Norman. HistoryofMedicine.com evolved from printed bibliographies of medical and biological classics that were originally compiled and published by the American medical historian Fielding H. Garrison (1870-1935), and later expanded and improved by the English medical librarian Leslie T. Morton (1907-2004) - a key reference work, which became known as Garrison-Morton or Garrison & Morton. Jeremy M. Norman took over the project and published a 5th revised and expanded edition in 1991, and subsequently developed this website.

Alaskan schooling developed on many fronts. An illustrated timeline adds historical context for the growth of the state's education system, from the territory’s earliest Native inhabitants to today.

The Boston Bruins didn't take long to put the painful memory of the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs behind them.

Is the Bruins' most recent exit from the Stanley Cup Playoffs also their most heartbreaking? Joe Haggerty counts down the biggest playoff disappointments, including way too many losses against the B's archrivals, the Montreal Canadiens.

Few things in sports are better than overtime in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and May 8 has seen the Boston Bruins play in a couple memorable games that required bonus hockey.

Over four years in Eugene, Ruthy Hebard has made a name for herself with reliability and dynamic play. She's had many memorable moments in a Duck uniform. But her career day against Washington State (34 points), her moment reaching 2,000 career points and her NCAA record for consecutive made FGs (2018) tops the list. Against the Trojans, she set the record (30) and later extended it to 33.

The History of Pre-Modern Medicine seminar series returns this month. The 2017–18 series – organised by a group of historians of medicine based at London universities and hosted by the Wellcome Library – will conclude with four seminars. The series… Continue reading

The Justice Department announced Thursday that it is dropping its criminal case against President Trump's first national security adviser Michael Flynn. Flynn twice admitted in court he lied to the FBI about his conversations with Russia's U.S. ambassador, and then cooperated in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. It was an unusual move by the Justice Department, and CNN's legal and political analysts smelled a rat."Attorney General [William] Barr is already being accused of creating a special justice system just for President Trump's friends," and this will only feed that perception, CNN's Jake Tapper suggested. Political correspondent Sara Murray agreed, noting that the prosecutor in the case, Brandon Van Grack, withdrew right before the Justice Department submitted its filing, just like when Barr intervened to request a reduced sentence for Roger Stone.National security correspondent Jim Sciutto laid out several reason why the substance of Flynn's admitted lie was a big deal, and chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin was appalled. "It is one of the most incredible legal documents I have read, and certainly something that I never expected to see from the United States Department of Justice," Toobin said. "The idea that the Justice Department would invent an argument -- an argument that the judge in this case has already rejected -- and say that's a basis for dropping a case where a defendant admitted his guilt shows that this is a case where the fix was in."Barr told CBS News' Cathrine Herridge on Thursday that dropping Flynn's case actually "sends the message that there is one standard of justice in this country." Herridge told Barr he would take flak for this, asking: "When history looks back on this decision, how do you think it will be written?" Barr laughed: "Well, history's written by the winners. So it largely depends on who's writing the history." Watch below.

Abstract:
Recent years have seen considerable work on inference about cancer evolution from mutations identified in cancer samples. Much of the modeling work has been based on classical models of population genetics, generalized to accommodate time-varying cell population size. Reverse-time, genealogical views of such models, commonly known as coalescents, have been used to infer aspects of the past of growing populations. Another approach is to use branching processes, the simplest scenario being the classical linear birth-death process. Inference from evolutionary models of DNA often exploits summary statistics of the sequence data, a common one being the so-called Site Frequency Spectrum (SFS). In a bulk tumor sequencing experiment, we can estimate for each site at which a novel somatic point mutation has arisen, the proportion of cells that carry that mutation. These numbers are then grouped into collections of sites which have similar mutant fractions. We examine how the SFS based on birth-death processes differs from those based on the coalescent model. This may stem from the different sampling mechanisms in the two approaches. However, we also show that despite this, they are quantitatively comparable for the range of parameters typical for tumor cell populations. We also present a model of tumor evolution with selective sweeps, and demonstrate how it may help in understanding the history of a tumor as well as the influence of data pre-processing. We illustrate the theory with applications to several examples from The Cancer Genome Atlas tumors.

In its simplest form, a kitchen garden produces fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs for delicious, healthy meals. Research suggests that kitchen gardens can supply up to half of all non-staple food needs, as well as a significant number of vitamins and minerals. This makes them an invaluable tool for food security in vulnerable communities. ‘Imagine one day you lost everything you owned.  [...]
