The dangers of sitting, the closure of a key pathology institute, bias in NIH awards, switching to Android… just some items of interest this week in blog-land:

• An infografic on how sitting is killing you by Travis Saunders is up on the PLoS Blog, Obesity Panacea (via @laikas)
• An interesting NatureNews piece on the closure of AFIP which quotes MSKCC’s William Travis. What will happen to this collection of tissue samples?!?
• The British Library has a collection of archival and sound recordings online, including thousands which are openly available (as copyright permits). This collection even contains environmental recordings – neat!
• A piece published Thursday in Science reports findings that black applicants are significantly less likely to receive NIH funding than others. NatureNews and others weigh in and the NIH responds to the study – which they commissioned in 2008.
• ScienceBlogs (bought by National Geographic in April) has announced that it will no longer allow pseudonymous blogs… and the discussion of anonymity in science blogs and on social media continues in posts from DrugMonkey and Greg Laden and a report from Hank Campbell
• Krafty Librarian sums up her switch from iPhone to Android in this post
