The big problem, I would say, is that there’s just so much out there that’s just so sinfully sweet. Everything we eat is sweetened, whether it be with sugar or with HFCS, and we’re eating and drinking far more sweetened stuff than any group of people has ever done before.
First of all, Sci loves the journal of Medical Hypotheses. Where would I BE without that journal? In a much less entertaining place is where I’d be. Secondly, Sci loves the phrase “belly button lint”. I’m not really sure why. I think it’s because the phrase “belly button” is humorous regardless, and then adding the […]
This group of researchers decided to find out whether specifically activated neurons were essential for memory learning and expression. As you might imagine, what they had to do was pretty insanely complicated, but what they found makes it very well worth it.
As you may have seen in a recent post, Scienceblogs bid a fond farewell to the Intersection. When the Intersection made its big debut on Discover, they were welcomed by their bloggers. And the commenters were also welcoming. Sort of. I’ll be the first to say that Sheril is quite fetching. And Having not read […]
The news broke yesterday that The Intersection will be moving to Discover! I’m very excited for Chris and Sheril, but we’re going to miss them a lot. 🙁 They can now be found here, but you can still access their archives here. Luckily, the internet is only a click away, and I won’t have to […]

Sci should point out that she is not a hipster snob. Merely an indie nerd. And not even a very good one. I definitely don’t have my finger on the pulse of what’s going on. But every so often, SciBro will send Sci some awesome music. Like this: Today has been a beautiful, beautiful Sunday. […]
Take this as proof of just how dedicated Sci is to all of you. She spent her who day staring at a screen working up data, and then she spent the whole NIGHT doing it as well! But hey, inquiring minds wanted to know!
And so, the results of….The condom survey
First off, the survey on condom breakage is officially CLOSED. Results will be posted tomorrow. You KNOW you’re curious about this one! Secondly, A Blog Around the Clock has the latest buttons for OpenLab submissions! Please head over and vote for your favorites! Not only that, a whole boatload of submissions have ALREADY come in […]
A couple of contradictory self-administration studies and some studies on dopamine effects in the brain, in this case, just isn’t enough to prove the drug “addictive”. And is modafinil the next cocaine? Probably not.
