Sure it smells sweet. Now, what's its name?
You think you're so smart — and, frankly, so do we. Also clever, creative, and highly opinionated, which is why we very much need your help in coming up with a new name for the "NPR Health Blog."
In the two months since its inception, this blog has already morphed from FluShots, a running news wire of all things swine-fluish, to a more varied discussion of daily medical news and features. We're still tracking swine flu, of course, and the healthcare debate that's now roiling across the country and on Capitol Hill.
But take a look over the last few weeks and you'll also find news about cookie dough recalls, the origins of fingerprints, and a provocative debate about the power of beauty to heal. Plus limericks from listeners, and live color commentary by our own reporters on the day's events, large and small.
In other words: Help! We need a new name.
Here's a list of our current strong contenders:
Antidote
NPRx
ZAP
Naked Health
Beats Per Minute
Vitals
Inside Out
Come on — we know you can do better. Please comment on these blog names or (even better!) send us more ideas NOW. We're on deadline and long overdue.
Thanks!
