Hey people…my name is Hannah Meyer. I’m a Poli Sci and French major, hoping
to finish up my last term. This is the last of my Gen Eds. (Scary to think I’m
nearly done.) I will be the first to say that I am normally not a science
person, but this class sounded cool, so I thought what the heck, go for it.
First Blog and the
post
When looking for blogs post to talk about my instinct was to
Google science blogs and so I did. The first result was Scienceblogs.com, which is in partnership
with National Geographic. It was cool because it had all sort of different
headings to choose from. Sticking with the front page, the first thing that
caught my eye was the post entitled Should
I get a Flu Shot? By Greg Laden
on his blog “Culture as Science~ Science as Culture.”
This immediately jumped out at me because I ask myself the
same question every year. I consider it for about three seconds until I
remember that it requires me to have an injection and needles scare the hell
out of me. However the argument was very interesting and highly compelling. As
I read through it I found myself getting more convinced. I don’t know if I will
take the plunge, but I am definitely more likely to do so then I was yesterday.
(Still have the needle concern to deal with.) Another interesting aspect to
this blog was its cultural element because it dealt with some of the fears that
people have about shots like catching the flu from the shot and so on.
