Xeni Jardin, Boing Boing blogger, live-tweeted her first mammogram today. Unfortunately, about an hour ago she learned that she in fact has breast cancer. Many are wishing her well on Twitter. Here’s hoping that her bravery and candor inspires other women to get checked, and that she beats this thing. 

Oh wow. Xeni is as close as rock star as you’ll get in the blogging game. Best wishes, and hope you kick it. :/

Followed this today. She’s got a huge community supporting her, and here’s hoping that she not only fights hard, but that it helps raise awareness for women everywhere.

"When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained." - Mark Twain

There's a lot of science out there. I'm Joe, let me be your guide to big science news, wondrous science visuals, analysis-izations and all the otherwise cool science-y things out there, with all the woo and BS filtered out.
