“They attacked all of neuroscience when they attacked me” -David Jentsch This morning Sci attended the symposium on Animals in Research: Widening the Tent, a symposium on how to reach out and garner more support for animal research, and to encourage scientists to speak out. You’d think that would be a pretty easy thing, of […]
Today’s post is partially (or more than partially) for Bora, our great Blogfather, and patron saint of Open Access. 🙂 After seeing all the posters that Sci usually has to see according to her itinerary, Sci likes to wander and take in the little things that catch her eye. And when she does this, she […]
Sci briefly considered just providing a short list of the many awesome things she had seen at SFN this day, for verily, she saw many awesome things. But she’s decided that she’s tired, the food at the conference is incredibly expensive and she’s VERY hungry, and that she’s got way too many things to cover. […]
To the nervous guy on the shuttle (and indeed, to any person nervous about giving a presentation in their field), Breathe. Drink some tea. It’ll be ok. In a few hours, it’ll all be over. And remember this: No one knows your stuff better than you do. No one, because you’re the one who did […]
Sci got a big project out the door today and is feeling pretty skippy! She wanted to have a few beers to celebrate and write something hilarious about erectile dysfunction, but duty calls! To the SFN blogging! And who says you can’t multitask? Beer and SFN happen to go particularly well together. We’re skipping Friday […]
You all know I could never write about blogs I like without hitting this one: That’s right, Drugmonkey. These bloggers are often controversial, but always interesting. Physioprof and Drugmonkey (or Drugmonkey and Physioprof, or who knows, perhaps DrugPhysioMonkey or PhysiomonkeyDrug, they may be the same person!!!!) provide a lot of cool insight. Not only do […]
So I know it may come as a surprise to all of you, but Sci is not the ONLY person covering this meeting. Though I know I could cover all 15 kabillion presentations and posters my ownself (Sci is VERY fast when on a lot of caffeine), I figure it’s best if there are other […]
So yay, Sci’s one of the SFN Neurobloggers!!! And this means she will be blogging, every day, about the cool and possibly weird stuff that she sees at the meeting (I hope there will be weird stuff…). Exciting, right? Of course right! Well, Sci will be making up her meeting planner in the next few […]
(This post brought to you by copious amounts of migraine medication and caffeine. I can see through time…) This post is ALSO inspired by a post over at the charming and witty Scribbler50’s Behind the Stick. He recently got an awesome writeup and is TOTALLY famous. He deserves every inch of it. Fantastic writer. Ah, […]
Sad news: Ruth Kirschstein, a trusted advisor and long-time administrator at the National Institutes of Health who helped develop and refine safety tests of viral vaccines for diseases such as rubella, measles, and polio, died last night (Oct. 6) after “battling a long illness,” according to the NIH. In 1974, Kirschstein was the first woman […]
