Sci has been nothing but impressed with how great everyone has been donating to Donor’s Choose!! There are so many wonderful science projects that have been funded and it makes us feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. (Scientopians, incredibly pleased at the donor’s choose response! The brown one with the weird expression must […]
YES! It is time to start recruiting for the next edition of the Carnal Carnival!!! This latest one will be hosted by Yours Truly, and will be dedicated to something near and dear to all of us… …orgasms. Of course. 🙂 So find a funny orgasm paper! Orgasms in other species! The physiology of orgasm! […]
If you head to the Scientopia front page today, you’ll notice something about our recent posts…MAD SCIENCE!! Scientopia decided to go with a MAD SCIENCE theme this year.

MWAH HA HA HA!!! I’m always a little disappointed when Halloween falls on such a prosaic night as a Sunday night. Also, in this new, urban environment, I’ll admit I don’t have the first idea of how to handle trick or treaters. So you are getting Halloween TODAY! Here, Sci got you candy! (The full […]
Last chance, people! The gates will close on the one, the only Grad Student Eating in Style Carnival on Saturday, October 30th! So send me your recipes, your price breakdowns, and let’s show them all that there’s more to grad life than Ramen (though Ramen will, of course, get it’s own category). Send in your […]
There’s a story that’s been flying around the internet (I saw the first bits this morning), that a group of scientists have found changes in brain activity associated with hyposexual desire disorder. Dr Petra and Maria Wolters and I got to chatting about it on Twitter, and wanting to find out what to REALLY think, […]
Reader David sent me this paper the other day, and asked if I could blog about it. I said ok, maybe, and then I read… …”Gene therapy”… …oooooh… Sounds very cool, doesn’t it? Sounds like the FUTURE! Where’s my JETPACK!!!?!?! But of course “gene therapy” is kind of a buzzword. A lot of people throw […]

Hey all. So Sci’s now not-so-trusty laptop has crashed and burned for the final time, and is getting some surgery involving a replacement hard-drive. Assuming it works (and the hard-drive isn’t DOA), I will RETURN! And if it doesn’t…well, we shouldn’t go there. EDIT: IT’s ALIIIIIIIIIVEEE!!!!!! WOOOOO!!!! I shall resume the science blogging anon!
You guys, there is SO much science out there. SO MUCH. Grrl and I agree, so much to blog, so little time. Anyway, I found this great paper in the latest Table of Contents for Nature, and went “ooooh, must blog!” And then SciAm beat me to it. No fair, I bet they had it […]
