The Hippie Health Writer Goes Back to School

... and I'm back. Sorry for the summer silence, but life has been uber-hectic. We moved to the DC area, I got a part-time writer/editor job, my husband got a new full-time job, and ... I finally got into grad school. I started the Science/Medical Writing Masters at Johns Hopkins University in September, and I am loving it. It makes me so happy that all those other schools turned me down. The program is an awesome opportunity to delve into the details of my craft, as well as learn about the issues and politics in the worlds of health and environment (among other sciences).

My ideas for upcoming blog posts include:
- Do we really need to worry about electronics causing cancer?
- The Hippie Health Writer attempts to lose 20 pounds
- What my "abnormal cells" reveal about my skin cancer risk
- The evils of the "baby bucket"
- My thoughts on child-spacing
- Why diesel cars rule
