Another expression characteristic of this society, "Your fifteen minutes of fame." It refers to the ephemeral state of recognition that sooner or later anyone can get either through a direct effort to get it, or so completely fortuitous. This is quite common among scientists, and perhaps why most of us have a weblog: Sooner or later we will reach these virtual fifteen minutes in which our blog be accessed almost constantly with questions, comments and requests more about our research. Bradley was
Lucier who alerted me to this expression: In an informal conversation in which the review told them how "bad journalism & # 8221; had been quoted in several newspapers and English television, let me quote, at which half angrily replied: " ; Rather three days of fame! "I explained then that expression became a metaphor for this kind of social effect after a famous Andy Warhol quote 1968, who said
In the future everyone will Be world-famous for 15 minutes.Well, now it's Brad's turn. And had a few years ago, long after some of his influential articles. Reliving the past, another recently published work has had an impact not only among the scientific community, but has been leaked to the news for its important consequences for the world of medicine: Collapse mammograms [with its new method] improves tumor detection .
The problem is the high cost of the visual results of mammograms, and the complexity and size. A doctor who would quickly consult other colleagues living a long distance, for example, should send these images by half in which no information is lost. Eventually, this process of making mammography plus shipping by mail can become quite costly, and that is why clinical around the world are investing time and financial resources to initiate studies for solutions and methods compression, while losing certain information, do not do the really important details of the outcome of mammography, more specifically, calcium deposits are beginning to tumors. Professor Lucier, along with a team of researchers from the Universities of Purdue and South Florida, has solved this problem and the result has been published to great success in the December 20 issue of the prestigious medical journal Radiology.
