I love when I can talk about science while using words like “testicles” and “cocks”. I really should have gone into something like urology, only then I know people would probably be all serious about it. And where’s the fun in that? Anyway, today’s Weird Science comes to you courtesy of Monica, an awesome reader […]
Today I present a “guest” post from reader of the blog Martin! I do not personally Twitter, because I have FAR too many distractions in my day without adding another way to be connected. But I feel this captures the essence of Twitter. And I really like the last line. 🙂 Apparently it has a […]
Sci’s going to go ahead and admit, the last few weeks have been a little…brutal. Ok, maybe a LOT brutal. Grad school can be tough at times, and involve days that leave Scicurious wiped.
