So after that whole myth about sex in space got thrown around and it turned out to be bunk (well, ok, I’m calling it bunk until I see the report my ownself, and I was SO happy to be able to say “sex…in…spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace…”. Blah), I figure I owe you guys some REAL Friday Weird Science. […]
Happy Thursday Weird Science. 🙂 Apparently NASA astronauts have undergone secret testing (very secret, I can’t get the report, too bad, too) for the examination of sex in space! This could be important for the survival of people in 0G for long periods of time, gotta propagate the species somehow. And Sci thinks it’s long […]

At SciOnline 2010 this year, I was lucky enough to snag a copy of the new book by Rebecca Skloot, “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks“. I’d been looking forward to reading it for a long time, so I plunked myself down when I got back, and despite some serious other time sinks on my […]
Sci is going to so some selfish Friday Weird Science today. Selfish, because this article isn’t new, and was reported on by one of the GREATS. This guy. He (of course) did a completely brilliant job, and when he talked about it at SciOnline this past weekend, Sci was compelled to go and see the […]

As I find out through Nerdy Christie (who appears to know this stuff always before I do), Research Blogging, the website that aggregates posts which blog on peer-reviewed research, is giving out AWARDS! Awards for SCIENCE! They will be giving out awards in various categories (including funniest and neuroscience, btw) to bloggers who are nominated […]
So Sci was at Science Online 2010 this weekend. She had a fabulous time with all her bloggy friends, and has come back more motivated to blog the science (especially since Carl Zimmer made gratuitous reference to duck penises. That’s a man after Sci’s own little heart). I cannot even mention all the fabulous people […]
Sci arrived early to ScienceOnline, and got for the first time to go on one of the lab tours. This time she got to go into the Duke immersive virtual environment (DiVE). This is a completely awesome interactive experience where you put on 3-D glassers, step into a virtual reality room that looks JUST like […]
There will be no Friday Weird Science today (though I’ve got a COOL one for next week!) because Sci will be traveling to Science Online 2010! She’s totally excited to be going this year, as there are lots of cool sessions and lots of cool people who will be attending. Unfortunately, Sci has also contracted […]
