News from the Housekeeping Front
We've made some recent improvement to our site, so we want to share the news with you.
First of all, we now have a contact form, just in case you want to get in touch. Praise for our work will be especially appreciated.
In other news, we teamed up with a new internet service called Apture, a startup founded by three Stanford computer science students, to deliver hand-picked contextual inlines on our pages that provide more information on a topic without having to navigate away to another site. We think your experience on Medgadget will be more productive and efficient. To illustrate, check out this contextual popup from yesterday's post. Or you can see the cross reference to Wikipedia we did yesterday inside this post. We will keep these embedded features to a minimum, and will use them only to supplement our regular coverage.
Please let us know what you think, and thanks for being one of our beloved readers!

The system works only with files generated by the 454 Genome Sequencer FLX System, produced by Roche. Word of this came in a Roche press release. MedGadget profiled this system in terms of its work in identifying germs found on American soldiers in Iraq a year ago. The picture is from that report.
