(Part 1 of 25 in series, M. Eades' Blog)

What, who?

I recently (2015) discovered Dr. Eades blog. (I had not heard of his books.) His blog contains a wealth of medical science explained in layman’s terms. The first few articles I read convinced me to start at the beginning of his “blog archive” and try to read HIS ENTIRE BLOG. I quickly learned: He has a lot of personal and current events posts which I’m not interested in, and there’s way way too much get through in short order.

I’m doing three things:

  1. I’m making my own posts about a small number of his spectacularly useful blog posts.
  2. I’m starting this list of EVERY blog post I found to be great medical science reading.
  3. Posts which are really good science articles (biochemistry and how things work) are in bolded-caps.

I hope someone else finds this useful, because I hope no one else ever wastes this much time sifting through a blog. :^)

So, here’s how to read his blog, in chronological order:
