Sci will admit I spent most the time “preparing” for this post by listening to LOTS of music. This is your brain: (Source) Is this your brain on Music? (Source) Well, to be entirely honest…probably not. But music’s still nice. Let’s take a look at why. So, let’s start out with a little bit of […]
“Hey, Drake” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhwXVDi496E&feature=player_embedded This one is a shoutout to Ed Yong and his iconic post on duck penises! I think this video came out after that, but it’s beautifully done. You can check out the rest of ISabella Rosselini’s killer green porno work here.
Yeah, you heard me right. We all have various ways of attempting to get rid of the hiccups. Drinking a glass of water backward, eating a spoonfull of sugar, getting surprised or scared, holding your breath. The list goes on. But what if those DON’T WORK? What if even medications don’t work!? Wherever shall you […]
Sci has been really thrilled to see so much talk over the past few days on women science bloggers, where they are, and why they appear to fly under the radar. But I’ve noticed that, while female science bloggers and female scientists aren’t big fans of comments on their appearance…most of them have no problem […]
There’s been a great conversation going on in the blogsphere over the past few days about blogging as a woman. I hear I’m a woman, so it’s rather natural that I’ve got some interest in this.

Yeah, I know it was over a week ago, but when you’ve got 10 collaborators, and none of them has spare time, you can understand why it took a while. And now. Here we are. At Science Online 2011 this past weekend, Joanne Manaster, Maryn McKenna, Vivienne Raper, Eric Michael Johnson, Brian Mossop, Carin Bondar, […]
Sci saw this paper come out last week, it made it big in the mainstream media, and a couple of blogs covered it. Whenever something like this comes up in the news, I just have to get the paper myself and make sure whether it’s all really true. And now I have it, so here […]
I LOVE Isabella Rossellini. Her Green Porno series is a must-see. Especially if you like animal sexual behavior. AWESOME. And she has one that is VERY relevant to this past Friday’s Weird Science! And then I, the strongest, will MATE WITH HER!”
…aka “The Thrilling Whale Threesome” …aka “Constant Coupling Clubs in Cetacean Coitus” …aka…I could keep going! Cause this is more than mammals. It’s WHALES, BABY!!! Whales GETTING IT ON. Strap yourselves in, cause we’re headed on a journey to the bay, complete with a bendable 8 foot penis. Mate et al. (heh, poor […]
