Let it be known to the masses (all two of you, hi!) that Sci LOVES Diet Coke. I mean, not as much as coffee or Pumpkin Spice Lattes, but it’s a close second. And I always heard what I’m sure everyone has heard, about how Diet Coke is HORRIBLE for you and the ASPARTAME!! The […]
Sci is back, along with Jason, Christie, Travis, and Peter, for the Obesity Panacea podcast!! Check it out as we talk about field work, and some of the stuff in the science blogsphere.
Sci saw this paper. She’s going to start with some caveats. She thinks the paper is cool. BUT, it appears to be one of those papers that is HIGHLY subject to overinterpretation and possible panic. So Don’t Panic. And now we’re going to talk about oxytocin. And parenting. In humans. It ain’t just for voles […]
Firstly, I’d like everyone to note that there is now a specific category for Grad Student Eating in Style! Hopefully I will get a few more recipes in there soon. Every time I tell someone I’m making Okonomiyaki, they ALWAYS look at me with an eyebrow up and say “what’s THAT”? Except for MicroDoc, who […]
WE ARE BACK! We are now officially back to scientopia.org, server change is totally done, and all the feeds are FIXED! Three cheers for Mark, our intrepid Web guy who probably never sleeps.
Sci fully intended to slide this post in for the Carnal Carnival JUST before the deadline, but events conspired against her, and against Friday Weird Science in general! It was too sad. And so Friday Weird Science goes up late today as Sci scrambles to catch up on life. But it’s still about vomit. Because […]
YAY! Stuff is already coming in for the Grad Student Food Carnival, and some of them look…really good. I might have to make some of these… Anyway, this is a reminder to send them in, I will publish them on November First, so your deadline is Saturday, October 30th! And this is also a reminder […]
You all may recall that I posted recently about cocaine escalation in rats. Drugmonkey has also been posting some interesting stuff about addiction and…EXERCISE. And of course, Sci can’t see that and leave it alone. So I’m going back to a paper that really galvanized the idea of exercise in treating addiction. Cosgrove, Hunter, Carroll. […]
Dr. Becca posted something hilarious about her Science Enemy, who actually BROUGHT A RULER to measure her error bars. That’s some serious crazy right there. Drugmonkey agreed with the crazy, but also mentioned that help felt these kind of rivalries help to move science forward. Sci has her own Science Enemy, but more importantly her […]
The things that Sci thinks of when she hasn’t had enough coffee… So here it is. Sci often trades recipes with people. Cheap, easy ones mostly, the cheaper the better. She has posted some of her own on this blog. And then one morning I thought, wouldn’t it be GREAT if hungry grad students could […]
