Science/medicine in literature, a favour

[Joel Katz]

alex, ignore these ass-puppets, with their tiresome, partisan fetishes.

instead tell your friend to check out some old michael crichton, perhaps 
'the terminal man' (about a electronic behavior-modification implant), of 
course 'andromeda strain.'  regardless of his politics, he's an actual MD - 
unlike the masters of bloviation listed below, who will only confuse your 
friend and make the job offers cease.

>>Hello all,
>>
>>A good friend of mine has a job interview coming up in a few weeks and 
>>she's
>>been told to research the history of science and medicine in literature.
>>She's a bit nervous, so I told her that I'd ask the capable folk on the
>>Pynchon list for some ideas, as many people there, being Pynchon fans and
>>all, seem to be rather well-acquainted with both the science and the
>>literature... So, if you may be so kind, could you point me in the 
>>direction
>>of some decent and relevant articles/books that you know of, or maybe 
>>throw
>>in some ideas on the subject that you think might be useful to her? I - 
>>and
>>subsequently she - would be very grateful. Her research is meant to be
>>focused more on the medicine side of science, and specifically the heart, 
>>so
>>the Pynchon rocket stuff unfortunately mightn't be of too much use here, 
>>but
>>any advice or information you can dispense would be very much appreciated.
>>
>>Best,
>>
>>Alex
