You’ll totally want to head over and check out the guest blog over the next two weeks!!! Currently we have the group from Le Physiologiste. Le Physiologiste is based in Quebec, and their English and French posts are well worth the read!! It’s really lovely to see an entire lab blogging together on awesome science! […]
There will be no NORMAL Friday Weird Science this week. Sci’s got something special coming at ya! Keep your eyes peeled. But of course, I couldn’t just do a week without doing my NORMAL weird science, right?? Ok, I’ll be honest, nothing else really appealed to me and…it’s SNAILS IN SPACE. You know what? […]
As I mentioned before, I am SO excited this year to be able not only to go, but to BLOG the 2011 Experimental Biology meeting in Washington, DC! I’ve been trolling laboriously through the abstracts, looking for some great science to share. I’ll be getting in touch with various presenters, to ask if they want […]
