Whiteboard Project: Which Home Remedy Works Best?
During this cold and flu season, we wondered which home remedy works for you. Ginger ale for an upset stomach? Check! (13 votes) Gargling with salt water for a scratchy throat? Check! (14 votes) Drinking tea with honey (and whiskey) for a sore throat? The undeniable winner with 21 votes. That whiskey bit was a write-in from someone who will remain anonymous, but it appeared to carry the day. Cheers.

Whiteboard Project: Who Will Win the Superbowl?
Our bonus Super Bowl question got you energized. Aliens did not land on the field, as one wit predicted, but HS/HSL patrons were correct when they foresaw a big win for the Philadelphia Eagles. New England Patriots fans stood up to wise-cracks and ribbing with unsurprisable boasting, but with many fewer votes (32 vs. 9). The Meh/Other category came in second with 16 votes (Puppy Bowl forever!).

PubMed Commons To Be Discontinued
PubMed Commons has been a valuable experiment in supporting discussion of published scientific literature. The service was first introduced as a pilot project in the fall of 2013 and was reviewed in 2015. Despite low levels of use at that time, NIH decided to extend the effort for another year or two in hopes that participation would increase. Unfortunately, usage has remained minimal, with comments submitted on only 6,000 of the 28 million articles indexed in PubMed. Read more here.
