Book Review: Rebel Without Borders

This was such an interesting and intriguing read, that I consumed the 274-pager in a day and a bit – which, in my current brain foggy state, I am quite proud of! This is a semi-autobiographical narrative which was originally written in French by Montrealer Marc Vachon and François Bugigno. The English translation was done by Charles Phillips. Marc begins the story of his life, …

Book Review: No One Can Stop the Rain

“Here in prison rage contained in my breast I patiently wait for the clouds to gather blown by the wind of history. No one can stop the rain” – from “‘Here in Prison” by Agostinho Neto, first President of Angola (1975-1979), PIDE Prison, Luanda, July 1960 I recently found myself with some time on my hands, and so I decided to pick up the slender …

Ten Years of Making Unconventional Career Decisions & Starting A New Public Health Journey

Ten years ago, to this day, much to the consternation and befuddlement of some of my friends and well-wishers, I chose to pursue my MD training in Preventive and Social Medicine, ahead of more conventional career pathways in surgery, anesthesia, or other clinical subjects. Since then, I have wondered many times, what the counterfactual would look like… but, on reflecting on my eclectic, meandering pathways …

PSM as a Career Option #8: Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! – Thoughts on the 10 Broad Categories of Public Health Jobs – Part I

Each year, around the time of AIPG counseling, I get a fair number of emails asking about PSM as a career option. These question are mostly from students who have not really considered PSM as a career, and hence, do not have the information or evidence needed to take an informed call. I usually try my best to provide what I think is my evidence based …

Guerilla Open Access: To Be or Not To Be?

Aaron Swartz, Greg Maxwell, et al have been vocal in their support of guerilla open access. While I am all for open access (or else why would I be here, right?), I have my share of doubts regarding the issue of embracing illegal methods to further the cause of open access.

In my third post in the series of posts, celebrating this year's open access week, I take a look into the issue of guerilla open access and why I do not think this is the panacea we are looking for.

Make hay when the sun shines!

Not everything is peachy in the world of Open Access publication, and in this next post, I tackle the issue of predatory open access. I have kept it short intentionally mainly because the issue is not something I want too many people to get too suspicious about and hence send out a wrong impression about the whole deal of Open Access.

Celebrating Open Access Week on My Blog

Since I am out of medical school now, it is difficult to organize the on-ground events. However, this time around, I am going to celebrate OAW by writing about it on my online profiles. 

 

Check out my opening post on the issue:  So, You Hit A Paywall?

 

Hope you enjoy reading it. Cheers!
