		<description><![CDATA[My new job involves working with numbers. A lot. So, I started reading about using numbers, and I very much enjoyed &#8216;The Triumph of Numbers&#8217; by I.B. Cohen (2005). This book gives an historical account not only of how numbers were used in different times, but also of &#8216;how counting shaped modern life&#8217;. The books [...]]]></description>

In the end, I decided to delete that passage, but I saved it for publication on my blog. So, below some thougths on what I [...]]]></description>

For a few years, technology has been available for the cryo-preservation of oocytes or ovarian tissue, which is used to help save the fertility of women [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You're not a blogger if you don't participate in Blog Carnival, so it seems. Blog carnival are a great way of finding new blogs, interesting posts, and creative bloggers all within a single topic of interest. The host of the carnival gathers a collection of posts, writes an editorial, and obviously links to the posts. 

A vast number of carnivals already exist. Fascinating ones and content are found on The Giant's Shoulders, on classic science papers, Carnival of the Mathematics (although I understand nearly half of it), Four Stone Hearth, on anthropology in the widest (American) sense of that word, Cabinet of Curiosities, and The Skeptics Circle.
A longer list is found on Coturnix's blog

Unfortunately, I've been unable to find a blogging carnival on sociology or social sciences in general. Therefor, I now introduce the Curving Normality Blogging Carnival on Quantitative Social Sciences. ]]></description>

So, it wasn&#8217;t difficult at all to find articles relating to the three main questions of sociology. But then again, it hasn&#8217;t been that difficult the last few days as well. Any suggestions for a more difficult source of news from one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[`Six Blogs of Separation', my guest article on Woopra.com, was published today. In it, I explore the utility of technological advances to answer existing sociological research questions. The internet is still a relatively new medium and with the rise of blogging, it becomes really interesting to investigate the social consequences of this new way of connecting to other people. Will social cleavages diminish, or will existing social cleavages remain in the blogosphere? But, how to accurately combine information on both internet behavior with background- and other characteristics of interest to the social scientist?]]></description>
