So Sci was sitting in a seminar the other day. We were mentioning this paper, some problems we had with it, some of the things we LIKED about it, and various approaches, etc, in our usual sciencey fashion. As the discussion got intense (in a good way), one of the PIs there leaned over and […]
Sci will be hosting a Grad Student Eating in Style CARNIVAL on November 1!!! I’d like to have a cutoff for submissions on the 30th. SO, you have 18 days to give me your recipes!!! MUST they be healthy? Not really. MUST they be low calorie or contain veggies? Nope! MUST they be CHEAP?!? ABSOFRAKKIN’LUTELY!!! […]
So if you don’t know what Quidditch is, you either have been living in a hole or haven’t heard of Harry Potter. Which probably means you’re living in a hole. Also, Sci identifies as a Ravenclaw, thank you. 🙂 Quidditch is a game played by wizards on broomsticks. The idea is that you have a […]
The lovely Dr. Leigh of Neurodynamics turned me on to this one, seeing as I love everything to do with the Old Spice Guy. And the Old Spice GROVER?! Even more adorable!!! “I’m on a horse” “Moo” “cow”
So it turns out (because I made my giving page before I posted about it, I thought we were supposed to start on the 10th…), that a bunch of my projects were filled. But worry not! I have picked up a bunch more, in particular projects for things like microscopes and model skeletons, and one […]
Sci is so excited you guys!!! The past two years I have either missed Donor’s Choose, or been so wrapped up in other crazy crap that I couldn’t participate like I wanted. But not this year! This year, Sci is proud to announce that I have my VERY OWN Donor’s Choose Giving page!!! So here’s […]
Seeing this tweet, I think it was from the illustrious and often hilarious @tvjrennie (whose blog can be found here), I had to make a personal note. So, we all know about men and receding hairlines. They fret about them, they comb over. They even get expensive hair implants in Miami. Sci personally thinks that, […]
If you don’t already, I highly recommend reading Speaking of Research, a site dedicated to the promotion of carefully performed animal research and the highest standards of animal welfare. As I’m sure you know, animal research is a hotly contested area, but many of the findings you will read about on this blog, findings essential […]
So I heard recently the IgNobels were announced!!! I <3 the IgNobels. Someday, Sci would like to be JUST famous enough to live blog the IgNobel ceremony and cover all the winners. SO FUN. But until that day, Sci will have to cover them from afar! And to that end, I thought it’d be fun […]
LabSpaces is having another topic of the week/month/they just do this stuff sometimes, and invited other networks to participate! Sci is pleased at cross-network collaboration, and also liked this topic which is: What I’d be doing, if I wasn’t doing this. Sci perfers to call it: My DayDream Job, the job you think you’d had […]
