Research interests:
Nutrition, obesity, bone health, physiologically based mathematical models and computer simulations of effects of nutrition, exercise, environment and disease on physical performance capabilities.
What I think of the idea behind WebmedCentral:
Way overdue. Peer review is necessary for science, but a healthy, transparent method of review can improve objectivity and restore ethics involved in the process. Potentially can improve dialog and collaborative nature of science.
