EPIDEMIca
The variety and breadth of ideas that weblogs can cover continues to be amazing. Witness one of the latest efforts, EPIDEMIca, a weblog about infectious diseases.
Powered by Movable Type, this site adopts a serious tone and a professional look appropriate for the topic it's dedicated to. Currently featuring a special focus on the bird flu epidemic, the blog format makes it easy to make sure that information can spread quickly enough to keep up with the spread of disease. As an example of a professional-level blog that isn't published by a company, M-J Milloy's work in creating Epidemica is an important example of the potential of blogs to contribute to education about something as important as public health.
