Everytime I think of “I’m on a card”, I either think of “I’m on a boat” or “I’m on a cart” (I’m on a CARD and…it’s really COOL and…I’ve got a science card themed-pashmina AFGHAN…) (I’m on a CARD…ya!) Anyway, sure enough, Sci is on a CARD! AmeobaMike has been putting together science themed trading […]
Sci had a chance to blog an interesting paper on the value of cocaine in rats (as compared to nice stuff like sugar), and someone pointed out to her that the authors had done a follow up! I think what they found in this followup is really rather exciting and has some very interesting implications […]
Hear ye, Hear ye! By order of the Skullsinthestars, the most munificent, ruler of all that is historical science blogging, duke of physics, and guardian of sci-fi, I hereby remind you all that the next edition of Giant’s Shoulders, themed “fools, failures, and frauds”, will be presented HERE, at the new and improved Neurotic Physiology! […]
…you know I always thought these memes were on livejournal or Facebook n’ stuff. I might have been tagged by Dr. Becca. Something about blogging with substance. Depends on the substance, say I. 🙂 And the meme is: “Sum up your blogging motivation, philosophy and experience in exactly 10 words.” To that I could say […]
Editor’s Selection Icon Sci may have mentioned before just how much she loves Mary Roach’s writing (warning, the webpage has a roach on the front. I’m warning you because if you’re like Sci and have a roach phobia, it can be…unpleasant. Just scroll down to the bottom of the screen and avoid it). Mary Roach, […]
Sci noticed that Lab Spaces held a small carnival of sorts (or maybe it was synchro-blogging), where they all blogged about something near and dear to their hearts and minds: work-life balance. Sci thinks this synchro-blogging thing is a GREAT idea, and might co-opt this for Scientopia, kind of like zombies. Only about stuff other […]
It’s been a while since Sci covered a good post on stimulants, and I’ve begun to feel the lack. I start to get the shakes, as it were. And this post covers something particularly interesting about cocaine, something VERY interesting about refined sugars, and even more interesting, this paper looks at some of the bugs […]
Sci has very little shame when it comes to certain things. Book procurement is one of them, and when she found out that Mary Roach (the author of Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, and Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex) was coming out with another book, she had no hesitation in […]
Sci would like to start this whole thing off on the right foot, and introduce you all (if you’re new to Scientopia and to Neurotic Physiology) by reposting one of the best posts Sci ever wrote. Unfortunately it was also about the 3rd or 4th blog post that I ever wrote as well. I guess […]
Hello and welcome to Scientopia, a brand spanking new blog community of people who are stuck living life in the scientific mind. Sci is SO excited to be here, you guys!!! In fact, she’s so excited she’s going to express herself in verse. Her poetry may very well be the worst poetry in the universe […]
