SOMETHING NEW @SPH for Spring '12

It's a science blog with a difference: For 10 weeks until April 2012, M.P.H. students from UM SPH are posting weekly as they learn how to translate complex science into something a broad audience can understand and appreciate.

Mind the Science Gap is a public initiative, so comments on each post will be encouraged. You are welcome to help ensure that UM SPH graduates are some of the best communicators around by commenting on the students' posts...
