On Start Poking, Stop Smoking
I love how the actual conclusion of the paper, "smokers should try evidence-based therapies before trying acupuncture and hypnosis" gets translated into "smokers should try acupuncture and hypnosis."

On How To Get And Keep A Mentor
@Lizawithazee: Yeah, this is not mentoring at all. It's asking for a favor. I've both mentored (like you say, working with someone over time in a way that helps them develop as a professional) and been asked for "favors" from those who are just starting out (career advice, letters of rec, etc), and she's definitely describing the latter. In either case, I never expect a handwritten note or even that they keep in touch, although it's nice when they do. The rest of her advice about advice about favor asking is pretty good, though.
