		<title>Frozen kingdom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before I came to the United Kingdom, I expected that it would be cold here. Very cold. So it hasn&#8217;t been surprising for me to watch the mercury struggle to climb above 0°C and experience the on-and-off snowfall. If anything, I&#8217;m a little bemused by how obsessed the British are with the weather (apparently a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saying British place names</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The United Kingdom, no doubt due to its rich cultural and linguistic history, has rather a lot of place names that are pronounced differently from what a non-Briton might expect from the spelling. Here are some examples I&#8217;ve encountered, along with the actual pronunciations given in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Some of these will [...]]]></description>

		<title>This is London calling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m currently in the United Kingdom doing a medical elective attachment in General &#38; Emergency Medicine at The Royal London Hospital, organised through Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry; part of Queen Mary, University of London. The medical elective is a component of final-year in most medical programs worldwide and gives students [...]]]></description>

		<title>Avions en papier</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently received a parcel from France, delivered via La Poste (République Française). Rather than your usual generic plain text postage label à la Australia Post, this La Poste timbre de distributeur had a base design featuring paper planes. Génial!

		<title>Coonabarabran: rural medicine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So after the previous few posts on Coonabarabran, you might be wondering whether I actually got around to doing any medicine during my placement there. Indeed I had plenty of medical practice in Coona and it was an amazing experience! (As with previous posts on Coona, the photos below and more can be found on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coonabarabran NSW 2357</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post is a collection of some of my thoughts and experiences living in Coonabarabran during my recent rural placement (and is by no means comprehensive or authoritative). Photos of Coonabarabran and the Warrumbungles are available on my Flickr photostream.
People/lifestyle
Coona is a small country town with a population of 2,601 (2006 census). The town is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coonabarabran: astronomy capital</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Coonabarabran is the astronomy capital of Australia, by virtue of hosting the Siding Spring Observatory (SSO) – Australia&#8217;s key site for optical astronomy research and the location of the largest telescopes in the country. Coona also holds the annual Warrumbungle Festival of the Stars (usually in October), which celebrates the town&#8217;s connections with astronomy.
The SSO [...]]]></description>

		<title>Destination: Coonabarabran</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As promised earlier, this is the first in a multi-part series on Coonabarabran, where I had an amazing experience on rural placement for Community Rotation in the Sydney Medical Program. So without further ado, my first post about my time in that wonderful little town the locals call &#8220;Coona&#8221;&#8230; how on earth I managed to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Epic fail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We apologise for this temporary service interruption.
While I was away on rural placement in Coonabarabran, which I’ll be writing about extensively after the third-year Barrier exam, it seems that medicinalchemistry died on me. On closer examination it seems that my hosting service (Yahoo! Small Business) had upgraded my WordPress install to 2.8.4 (after a few [...]]]></description>

		<title>MedSoc logo refresh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Sydney University Medical Society (MedSoc) has a historic logo designed by Professor Sir Thomas Anderson Stuart, which has remained in use since the late 1880s. Perhaps the reason this design has endured over a century is the strong symbolism featured on it: the caduceus*, lion passant guardant (USyd, NSW, UK), waratah (NSW), and abbreviation [...]]]></description>
