In honor of our unusual weather today, I checked to see if snow is a search term in MEDLINE. And it is in MeSH. Most of the articles in PubMed (when limited to Humans) deal with snow disasters (avalanches and the like). I don’t think we’ll have to worry about that.

Today is Tennessee Williams birthday. Unlikely as it seems, one of Louisiana’s greatest playwrights appears seven times in a search for “Tennessee Williams” in PubMed! Check out the articles here, and if you’re in New Orleans this weekend, check out the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival’s annual STELLA! Shouting contest this Sunday in Jackson Square.
There are 13 articles in PubMed with the keyword Mardi Gras. These articles cover eye injuries, disaster care, sexual behavior, and tattoo removal. Maybe someone at LSUHSC will use this year’s experience to add to the list?
