Sci got this comment to her Ritalin post the other day: It sounds like you are suggesting that cocaine taken in the same form as Ritalin — as low-dose, slow release pills — would produce the same effects as the ADHD medication does. But, clearly, the FDA has seen fit to outlaw cocaine and place […]
Check it out at Ionian Enchantment. Some great stuff this issue, including a great deal on ADHD from Sharp Brains. And a cool post from Mindhacks on Mummy brain scans!!!
It seems, from the time I first heard about it, there’s been an eternal flare-up about Ritalin, and its similar counterparts, including things like Concerta and Tranquillyn. Issues with who should get it, who HAS attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), whether or not ADHD is is even a real diagnosis. Issues about whether people who DON’T have […]
Sci will admit that she hasn’t listened to They Might be Giants since…ummm…that Istanbul song. Which was awesome. But now this video has been going around. And it’s awesome. And it’s simple: Science is REAL! Though I want to nitpick that they didn’t make any specific references to chemistry…
About a month ago now (yikes, it’s been a while!), Sci handed over her diet to the judgment of the goddess. The goddess Isis. Since then, and since finding out that Sci ate roughly 2500 calories a day (or more, and running 5 miles a day doesn’t help THAT much), some major changes have been […]
Sigh. It crept up on me. I feel so…not old. But today, today is the DAY! Today is the anniversary of Sci’s very first post at Scienceblogs!!! I’d like to thank the Academy… It really doesn’t feel like it’s been very long at all. Heck, it feel’s like it’s been WAY less than a year. […]
I’m sure those of you around the blogosphere have heard about the contest for a blogger to go to Antarctica, right? And did you know that our lovely Grrl is in the running?! But, you say, what of it. Well, I say, she is in the TOP THREE!! But, you say, how do we know […]
Sci feels really famous today! That’s because someone actually emailed her to ask her a question!!!! This makes her feel very knowledgeable and wise, even though she had no idea what the person was asking and had to look it up. Anyway, here goes nothing, your very first Ask Scicurious! I t’s me, Juniper. I […]
There once was a sad undergrad
and her memory, oh it was BAD!
But she read this science note
and science poetry she wrote
and her orgo chem grades now are rad!
*cough cough* This is not a post about science. You were warned. Science post tomorrow. Sci went to see Taming of the Shrew this weekend. Mr. S brought her to the show as a semi-surprise, because he is generally awesome. 🙂 And I highly recommend (the show! Not Mr. S! Mr. S is mine). It’s […]
