Sci always has all these PLANS for weird science, all these THINGS she’s going to blog about. Seriously, a post on Ritalin-induced stuttering priapism (heh…heh…) awaits! But then, Mo posts something like this on Twitter, and Sci just HAS to cover it. It’s too weird! Though it’s not ACTUAL science, it still qualifies. How many […]
Sci will admit that blogging SFN has been harder than she thought it would be. This is partially due to the lack of wireless on the poster floor (which would be REALLY hard to remedy), and partially due to…exhaustion. By the end of the second or third day, the posters all begin to blur before […]
Once Upon a Time, there was a little girl. This little girl became Scicurious. Her dad had a large role in getting her there. My Mom gave me charm, sparkle, and confidence. My dad gave me his sense of humor. And my dad gave me running.
Dearest Pubmed, You know how I generally feel about you. You are like a faithful science butler, forever serving up my lovely citations with a cheerful, dry wit, which sometimes causes you to return things like “priapism” when I searched for “[drug] withdrawal”. It was cute, and I appreciated that bit of sass in response […]
As some of my readers from WAY back (all two of you, hi guys!) may know, diabetes is one of Sci’s favorite things. It’s one of those things that, if she could start her entire little sciency life over, would be something she would heavily consider as a focus. Heck, there’s always another post-doc, right? […]
Sci is still in SFN recovery. This usually involves attempting to make up for a SERIOUS lack of sleep, and a total lack of healthful eating. I have spent the last four days with a heartfelt salad craving. Seriously, McCormick Place. We need to talk. About your prices. $12 for a ratty little vegetarian sandwich […]
The things that happen when Sci is away…seriously, to cover them all, I have to do a TON of blogging. Anyway, we just had two new blogs join the Scienceblogs stable: Evolution for Everyone and Tomorrow’s Table. David Wilson is the author of Evolution for Everyone, a new evolution blog, and Pamela Ronald is the […]
Now that all the COMPLETE CRAZINESS of SFN is over (IT WAS SO CRAZY), Sci is a little free to, well, not relax, but do the 50 million things she was supposed to be doing while she was at SFN…ugh… Anyway, today’s blog pick emphasizes this predicament somewhat: ISIS, the Domestic and Laboratory GODDESS! Really. […]
Sci is back from SFN, but she is by no means done with the neuroblogging! Unfortunately, due to a crazy schedule and spotty wireless, Sci was not able to get as much neuroblogging in as she wanted. So she’s going to continue for a few more days, with some of the coolest things she saw […]
It’s the second to last day of SFN. Sci thought she was a grad student of boundless energy, but even she is beginning to feel…a little burned out. Posters, each one of the good and showing some seriously cool stuff, slide past her eyes. After a while you can barely remember what you just saw, […]
