We have a new set of brains to add to the Hive Overmind the family of Discover Magazine blogs: NCBI ROFL. I'll leave the description to them:

We’re two PhD students in Molecular and Cell Biology at UC Berkeley. Back in March of aught-nine, we started a little blog called “NCBI ROFL” in which we posted real scientific articles with funny subjects from the PubMed database (which is housed by the National Center for Biotechnology information, aka NCBI).

And how can you not love a blog that scientifically discusses a paper called "Accidental condom inhalation"? Welcome to Discover Blogs!
