Call for Submissions: Atrium

Atrium, one of the finest bioethics/medical humanities publications out there, has put out a call for papers:

Proposals are invited for the Fall '09 issue of Atrium, due April 16, responding to the theme "Killer Apps." In computer jargon, a "killer app" is a must-have application, an innovation so necessary or compelling that it sweeps the field, or provides the core draw for some larger technology. In the medical context, the concept of a "killer application" might have more sinister implications. What applications of the medical humanities and bioethics have changed, or potentially will change, the practice of medicine? Atrium encourages potential authors to think creatively about broad interpretations of theme.

For details on how to submit proposals, see:

Be sure to go ahead and download the latest version of Atrium, available free on the web(PDF), with the theme of "Haunting."  Atrium is a wonderful resource, and well worth both reading and submitting.
