		<description><![CDATA[I often get this question, along with blank stares, when telling people what I am studying.  Some of the blankest looks come from those in the medical profession.  Here&#8217;s my 30 second elevator speech:
Medical Informatics is the study of information and its flow in the healthcare setting.  Typically you can think of it as &#8220;computers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those of you interested in reputation management systems, I wrote an overview for Dr. Hersh&#8217;s Information Retrieval course as part of my Biomedical Informatics Graduate Certificate.  I think it turned out well- here&#8217;s the abstract:

		<title>Clinicians Vs Information Technologists</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What accounts for I.T. implementation failure in the healthcare setting?  Why do clinicians and information technologists seem to talk pass each other?  In this short paper, I explore how these groups make up separate cultures and how these cultures come in conflict.

		<title>Animation on the side of a pot?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The goblet excavated at the Burnt City site in Iran has 5 images which when looked at consecutively forms an animation.
This animation has been making its rounds.
By placing the images in on a bowl, it could be a form of a zoetrope.   However, the images are on the outside of the goblet.  That would [...]]]></description>
