This is one of those weeks where there is SO much to blog about and so little time to do it in! How shall I ever get to it all! This article actually came out on Tuesday, which means of course that others have now been there before me, but I like this paper a […]
Along with my passion for science (say it with me, “SCIENCE!” Don’t you feel awesome now?), I have a passion for history. I love history books (yes, really) and history podcasts, and nothing is cooler than when Mr. SiT takes me to see historical stuff (well, ok, unless we’re going to a Natural History museum, […]
I realize it’s been a few weeks, but I’m FINALLY getting a look at all the responses that poured in in response to this post. I’m a good little scientist, and we all have to look carefully at our data. Not all the comments were on here, a bunch of them were over on BoingBoing […]
For Friday Weird Science, there is really nothing better than a good case report. And you guys are getting a GOOD one this week. Partially because it’s really good, and partially because I have just returned from the bachelorette party of a dear friend. So you now get to meet FUN Scicurious! And see how […]
Lots of stuff going on these past few weeks. Do I have time to actually TELL people about them? Of course not. So ya’ll get my time between meetings today for me to let you know! First off, everyone probably already knows, but there’s a science blogging conference coming up! It’s Science Online ’09, and […]
So I’ve been thinking of ways to make some of my more science-y blogging come across to those with less in the way of science backgroud. There was a suggestion that I try categorizing the posts into easy, intermediate, and difficult, but I wouldn’t want people to give up on something they may potentially find […]
I actually heard about this paper from the glorious Dr. Isis, who covered it a few weeks ago with her usual panache and sparkles. Since I read her post, I’ve been itching to get my hands on this paper, but for some reason the journal was denied me, until this very lovely guy named Matt […]
So I saw a comment over at Adventures in Ethics and Science (which is, by the way, a killer blog. If you don’t read it, you should). In my experience, it does come down to a choice for parents of which authority to trust. No matter how hard I tried, as a young parent I […]
Before I do anything else, I want to let you know that Not Exactly Rocket Science has posted a really cool article on a robotic starfish! It can adapt to injury and self-assess. And it’s so cute! Anyone want to get me a robotic starfish? Anyone…? And on a sad note: Tetrapod Zoology reports on […]
