W00t! Sci got picked to be one of the OFFICIAL SFN Neurobloggers. Unfortunately, being all secretive as she is, she won’t be wearing a pretty ribbon or anything. But you should be able to find her by her large smile and her excellent coverage of science. That would totally stand out, right? So anyway: As […]
Today’s Friday Weird Science is going up late, because of extenuating circumstances. Sci-cat, Sci’s constant blogging companion (someone has to keep those papers and books warm and furry!), managed to hop up on something Sci thought she could not reach, and stand curiously over a burning candle, wondering where that smell of burning fur was […]
About time we got some LADIES up in this blog! Behold: Ambivalent Academic Part of the reason I love Ambivalent Academic is because I’m pretty sure she’s Sci’s alter-ego. Every single time she posts something frustrated, yet hilariously witty about grad student life, I read it and say “DUDE! THAT’S ME!!!” Her writing gives a […]
w00t!!! Sci’s going. She’s pretty excited. Especially about the whole “drinking in Chicago” thing. Anyways. If there’s drinking, and Drugmonkey is there, Sci might be there as well (she’s unsure as to possible times, and leaves that up to people who are more important than she to decide). So we can hang out. Also, if […]
Ok, Sci will admit she’s not doing Donor’s Choose this year. I really WANTED to, I really did. But there’s just crazy things going on. CRAZY THINGS. And I cannot do it. But I wanted to. And a lot of other people are doing it! You should visit them. You should donate things! A lot […]
*sings, to the tune of “Oh god our help in ages past” Oh Tiktaalik, transitional form Our fav’rite pseudofish Thy stubby legs and half formed lungs Would make a tasty dish! Great Tiktaalik, make us believe ev’lution does take place where once you flapped upon the shores is a new amphibian race Dear Tiktaalik, we […]
Dear Bicyclists, I like you guys. You always look so friendly, whizzing along on your bikes, little backpacks on or with saddlebags or baskets. Earth-friendly, healthy, energetic. I like this. I am almost jealous, especially feeling like a horrid person driving around in my car (not much of a gas-guzzler, but I could still do […]
Sci WAS going to do a cool story on bee sex sent to her by the charming Gg of Skulls in the Stars, but that’s going to have to happen next week. I just CAN’T let this one go by. I mean, a shark with a sexual organ on its HEAD?! It’s just too good: […]
Today I want to mention the neuroscience blog that first left me in awe. This one: That’s right. Mo of Neurophilosophy. His blog is probably not for the faint of heart, but for someone interested in neuroscience, it’s a gold mine. I am continually impressed by Mo’s ability to deliver well-worded, well-researched stuff in an […]
