Scientific Aesthetic and Dramatic Medicine
Last week, we announced three new additions to the Boles Blogs Network — Panopticonic, Carceral Nation and Memeingful — and today we are delighted to announce two more sites we have added to the network!
The first is ScientificAesthetic.com — that site used to be a website, but we’ve now made it more interactive in our ongoing effort to help bring The Arts to Science. We’ll be writing and wondering about the ways our innate aesthetic informs how to we relate to, and think about, science. Scientific Aesthetic has two logos you’ll be seeing along the Network.

Breast Cancer and the awareness of the importance of testing for it, finding a cure for it, and supporting those who are surviving it, have survived it, or have lost friends and family to it.

Let the Healing Begin
by Nancy McDaniel
I never seem to do things in the right order. I floss my teeth in the morning, not at night. I brush before I floss, not after. I get dressed before I put on my makeup. I quit my job before I had another. I say “I love you” first. You get the picture.
