Just joined, so will have to work on creating a nice user page. I was born in Calgary and am still registered in Alberta as a nurse, but now live and work in the USA as one of "King Ralph's Refugees". I am currently a graduate student at the University of California, San Francisco. I'm interested in how nursing is treated by the media, and to that end have started producing the first nursing podcast on the web.

Picture of the day

The mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is a tropical evergreen tree with edible fruit native to Maritime Southeast Asia, from the Malay Peninsula to Borneo. It is grown mainly in Southeast Asia, southwest India, and other tropical areas such as Colombia, Puerto Rico and Florida, where the tree has been introduced. The fruit is sweet and tangy, juicy, somewhat fibrous, with fluid-filled vesicles (like the flesh of citrus fruits), with an inedible, deep reddish-purple colored rind (exocarp) when ripe. In each fruit, the fragrant edible white flesh that surrounds each seed is the endocarp, the inner layer of the ovary, and is roughly the same shape and size as a tangerine, about 4 to 6 centimetres (1.5 to 2.5 inches) in diameter. This photograph, which was focus-stacked from 22 individual images, shows two mangosteens, one whole, and the other halved to expose the endocarp.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus
