Sci has recently taken to talking about her coffee experiences. She usually buys by the pound, and goes through one pound of coffee solid before she blogs about it. This allows me to get the initial surprise of the new coffee flavor, but also to feel how the coffee feels on a daily basis, what […]
In case you all did know, Sci’s a massive geek. And so she does some massively geeky things. And one of those geeky things is that I watch The Guild. The Guild is a short web-comedy about a bunch of gamers and their rather hilarious, geeky hijinks. It’s now up to season 4, and the […]
You know how it is when you’re in college (or high school). You’ve got that one kid (and yes, it has at some point been you) who’s never had a drink before, and they go to a party. You have a few drinks, they have a few drinks, and pretty soon, even though they have […]
This might be the best thing that Sci has seen ALL WEEK. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2PM0om2El8&hl=en_US&fs=1] Brilliant. Partially because Sci, like many a good girl geek out there, LOVES some Jane Austen (ok, we all fell in love with Pride and Prejudice, secondarily with Sense and Sensibility because Marianne was SUCH a diva, and the other ones fall […]
*I would like to start with a disclaimer. My laptop is broken (AGAIN), and until I invest in a new harddrive, I am going to have to write all the posts on this little netbook, Ruby, who, while intrepid, can’t do JACK when it comes to images. Which means I’ll have to add the images […]
Jason at The Thoughtful Animal let Sci know about this contest, knowing Sci’s love of completely terrible poetry. And now there’s an opportunity for you to compete for the First Annual Charles Prize in Poetry! This will honor the most outstanding poem in the context of health, science, or medicine. Poems should be related to […]
Mr. S showed Sci something hilarious today when she got home from work (yes, she works on a Sunday. She’s a post-doc). The something he showed was this: This is the geek heirarchy (bigger version here), and is a basic flow chart of who is considered to be the most nerdy among the nerds, […]
Sci is a huge coffee fan. If that comes as a surprise, you clearly don’t know her well. And a few weeks ago she thought maybe she’d start reviewing some coffee. Last time, I sipped through Philz Ambrosia, Coffee of God from Philz coffee in San Fransisco. This week’s is another from their brand, the […]
So Sci was feeling rather…uninspired for this week’s weird science. Life hasn’t been easy lately and it’s wearing on me. But then I saw a recent post from Isis’ co-blogger (and, to Sci’s mind, possible doppleganger) Set Oculus. Set Oculus, who’s gender is apparently no longer in question (though I don’t know if I believe […]
Some of you may recall the post Sci posted on Friday “If you’re happy and you know it, smell some pee“. It’s an adorable post, by the way, in which Sci waxes extremely witty and breaks into song. We all love songs. But the more Sci thought about the paper the more she thought several […]
