Keeping Abreast of Avian Flu
Tyler Cowan of Marginal Revolution has started a new blog: Avian Flu - What we need to know. Its mission:
We at avianflu.typepad.com are committed to the idea that decentralized communication and expertise can make a difference. We have set up this blog as a clearinghouse for information about avian flu. Sadly avian flu may become a major crisis, so the world should have all of the defensive resources at its disposal, including blogs.Cowan notes:If you have a relevant post for the blog, please let us know. Please feel encouraged to leave your ideas and expertise in the comments section of the relevant post. There is much information about avian flu that is not available in the major media or on-line. Comments from individuals in affected areas, and research scientists, are especially welcome.
We do not necessarily endorse or agree with the contents of linked material. Nor do we intend this blog as a source of medical advice. Our mission is that of a clearinghouse and communication center.
It's odd to start a blog that you hope nobody reads, but that is what this is.And I hope this turns out to be a very uninteresting subject. In the meantime I'm linking the site and adding it to my RSS feed. Posted by Steve on April 13, 2005
Huh. Good idea.
Posted by Scott at April 13, 2005 5:14 PMIt s a good idea so that people can learn more about it whether they need to or not. I think it would be interesting to learn more. How thoughtful.
