Scientists Use Twitter to Predict Spread of an Infectious Disease

From RWJ Foundation:  “A new study suggests that information shared via Twitter can be used to predict the extent and severity of infectious disease outbreaks like the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. Philip Polgreen, M.D., and his colleagues at the University of Iowa, collected and analyzed public tweets relating to the 2009 H1N1 outbreak to see if they could track the spread of H1N1 more rapidly than current methods. They also analyzed information from Twitter in order to gauge public concerns about the H1N1 virus. [Read more…] about From My Heart- August, 2011

Goals and Contemplations

Last autumn a friend of mine invited my husband and me to travel with him and his wife this spring back to his homeland,Vietnam.  We try to take one good trip every year and it was my time to choose the destination. My husband gamely went along with the idea although he was not his typical exuberant, adventurous self.  I hit upon the idea of incorporating some travel to Thailand while we were in that part of the world and vacationing for maybe a week at one of the islands there in hopes this might entice him with our trip.  My husband is a REAL WATER LOVER.  I mean he’s sailed for years, has taken numerous vacations in the Caribbean, and even has to get in the hot tub every day we’re at our house in San Leon.  When he discovered the islands we were considering were at the same latitude as most of his beloved Caribbean islands, he perked up BIG time! Just a couple of months prior to our vacation, some friends of ours told us we should also consider Siem Reap in Cambodia so we added that country to our itinerary as well.
