Sci doesn’t generally like expressing her opinion on things in the blogsphere. It usually gets her yelled at, and Sci is a very conflict-averse little soul. But every once in a while. I see something that gets me thinking. And so I must comment. And at least half the internet will probably declare war on […]
Hello and welcome to this month’s CARNAL CARNIVAL! The carnival full of the things you are REALLY curious about. This month’s topic? The ORGASM of course! As you might imagine, orgasm has never been an unpopular subject. And as you’ll see from the links below, it inspires people to some REALLY HYSTERICAL turns of phrase. […]

Some of you might remember last year, for the first time, the Rock Stars of SCIENCE! The idea was to make science more cool and accessible by showing that scientists are not just scientists, they are people. And people who are kind of awesome. So they took a bunch of very big scientists and paired […]
The title for this one comes from those stupid “1 tip for a flat belly!” and “The thing moms know about whitening teeth!” ads that keep popping up for me. You know the ones. Well, now, screw that. WHAT’S more important than getting a flat belly or whitening your teeth?! CURING YOUR AGING NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTIONS!!! […]
Hey Y’all, So Sci is helping to moderate a session at the upcoming Science Online 2011 (woot!!), on blogging science for the lay public (“lay” meaning, like, not a scientist by trade, I suppose). And I was wondering…in what ways do you think I succeed in blogging science for teh peoples? In what ways do […]
Who’d have thought we’d have gotten all this way in science and never studied whether money can buy happiness? Well, in fact, this HAS been studied, but the results have almost always been inconclusive. This probably has a lot to do with how it’s being studied, what ranges of monetary income you’re talking about, and […]
Heh. Heh. That’s two euphemisms, one post title. Yep. Sci is the proud (?) host of the Carnal Carnival this month, coming up this FRIDAY, November 19th!!! And the subject? It’s Sci, isn’t it?! ORGASM! (Source) So submit to Sci your posts on Orgasm! Can be old, can be new. Keep them coming! (You see […]
So by now you have hopefully seen my truly awesome new Scicurious Store of Awesome and Win! And you know that I’ll be giving away fun merchandise to people who donate to Donor’s Choose!!! But I also wanted to mention: if you got it, FLAUNT IT! Send Sci a picture of yourself (or your pet! […]
So apparently, everyone is getting all hot n bothered over the fact that, at SfN, they are going to do a video of women stimulating themselves to orgasm…in an fMRI. Of their BRAINS, obviously. Please, this conference is not NSFW! 🙂 Sci is very excited to see the videos (heh, heh…) but moreso to see […]
