Hello and welcome to Guest Post TWO! And Sci is so glad that Ambivalent Academic is covering meiosis, because I sure as heck didn’t want to do it. 🙂 Male Reproduction Part II – Spermatogenesis Last we left off we took a basic tour through the male reproductive tract in the way in which a […]
So in all the fuss of…everything, I forgot to notify people about some awesome new blogz! Today’s post brought to you by the letter O. O yeah. First up, we have the recently joined Scienceblogs Oscillator, who I was first introduced to when she and her friends did this: (*sings* “I’ll wear a gloooooove, glove […]
Sci may have hinted that there were guest posts coming up in the near future. After that long series on female reproductive anatomy, Sci thought it would only be fair to let the dudes have some information as well. Unfortunately, Sci’s knowledge of the male reproductive system is related almost entirely to hilarious things like […]
ResearchBlogging Awards 2010 Neurotopia has been nominated for best neuroscience blog! And the voting’s now open! So head on over and VOTE (I think you have to register first)! There are some great blogs up there in a lot of really great categories!! So let the voting commence, and may the best science blogs win […]
Sci came across this abstract via NCBI ROFL, the aggregation site with some truly hilarious studies on it, many of them worthy Friday Weird Science materials. And of course this one is EXTRA worthy. It’s from the Journal of Medical Hypotheses. Wither Weird Science, Medical Hypotheses, but for thee? So, coming up into this next […]
Hello and welcome to this hopefully last installment (before I get to the paper that I want to cover about female reproduction, which may not be able to happen for a bit) on female reproduction!. Previous sets have covered the anatomy, the menstrual cycle, the effects of oral contraceptives, and fertilization and implantation. Now, we […]
Sci is working on about 3.5 hours of sleep right now. This makes her extremely punchy and odd. and possibly slightly crazy. And thus, she may not have been able to help herself in seminar today, and let out a very unlady-like snort in response to the following: Introducer guy: I am happy to introduce […]
The first Open Lab 2009 review is up over at Sciblogs! Sci was amused that the reviewer notes that editor (editress? editrix?) is listed by her pseud, but agrees that it’s all part of the blog experience. 🙂 The reviewer, Grant Jacobs, follows with a hopefully representative list of some of the posts in the […]
The website Speaking of Research, a site devoted to spreading accurate information about the uses and benefits of animal research, has put part of my previous post on their site (no worries, they had permission). They have also put up a great aggregate of the recent posts from the science blogging community on animal research. […]
And we’re back with part 4 of Sci’s brand spanking new series on female reproduction!! This one’s going to be a whopper, fertilization and pregnancy is a lot to cover, and so it will be very basic and divided into two posts, though less basic than the “baby in your tummy” bit that Sci learned […]
