Sci’s been in grad school, not so long ago. She knows how HARD it was to make ends meet, and to eat even close to healthy on a budget. But over time, she learned that it wasn’t impossible. There are good foods out there, quick to prepare and tasty to eat! And as grad students, […]
I would first like to note that it’s REALLY hard to use a laptop when your cat is taking up all the available lap. This post brought to you courtesy of SciCat, who is watching closely over the proceedings. Sci is so impressed and thrilled to see how many people have really come to the […]
This week Sci continues her coverage of the IgNobel prizes, those prizes given for the greatest and WEIRDEST (but not at all useless) science on the planet. It’s an award after Sci’s own little heart. And today we get to one of my personal favorites from this year: GODZILLA SLIME MOLDS!!! Oops. This is a […]
Sci isn’t feeling very well today folks. She hit the wall during one of her training sessions VERY hard yesterday, and is still trying to convince her weary legs to carry her about the lab with her normal alacrity. So I’m gonna go on a brief rant on the subject of supplemental data. You were […]
Welcome to part 3 in the series of my coverage of LaPlant, et al. 2010. It’s been a long day, and Sci is TIRED. She just ran a 13 hour experiment, and boy is she wiped. But she is also DEVOTED. And also has her teeth well into this paper, and refuses to let go […]
Last week I began a breakdown of this paper. It’s a much more complicated paper than I usually cover round here, and I will also be covering it in more depth than usual, because I think there are a lot of things about it that are worth discussion, and I think that even this kind […]
The charming (and handsome!) GG of Skulls in the Stars sent me this fantastic gem of an old paper, and I can’t resist. Sadly, I just missed this month’s edition of the Giant’s Shoulders, but perhaps this will make next month!! Beholde! An affair with a Rattle-fnake! And an excuse for Sci to talk lieke […]
Is it Donor’s Choose? Donors’ Choose? Donors Choose? None of them look quite RIGHT to me… Anyway, Sci is down with a cold. And so while she’s under the covers with the sniffles, slurping Ramen with chicken flavor (work with what you’ve got, you know?), and wearing SciCat on her head, she would like to […]
This Friday we are continuing coverage of the most recent IgNobel prizes, those awesome prizes given to celebrate the truly odd, yet wonderful findings in scientific research. Sci LOVES these prizes. In fact, someday I want to be invited, so I can LIVE BLOG these prizes. Interview the winners! Have hilarious conversations! YES! You should […]
So Sci was racking her brains as to what she could POSSIBLY to for all the lovely people who have been donating to Donor’s Choose and completing projects and being totally awesome. I also thought it’d be a lovely thing to start giving people stuff for contests, etc. And…then I had an idea. INTRODUCING…SCICURIOUS MERCHANDIZE […]
