These posts are ending up a lot longer than intended, partially due to jetlag. That 14 hour time difference doesn’t fool around folks.

YES. Sci has started a blog over at Scientific American! I’ll be blogging at The Scicurious Brain once […]
And lions and tigers and bears! Sci is reposting this one in particular because I keep seeing it come up. Again and again I read articles on how combined hormonal contraceptives don’t cause weight gain. And again and again I see women posting everywhere on the internet not to trust those dang scientists! I gained […]
You may have noticed that BIG NETWORK of blogs launched today. Yes, Scientific American Blogs is here, and Sci will be joining them!! From now on I will be at SciAm Blogs once a week with the latest, hottest neuroscience. The rest of the week and Fridays you can find me right here on Scientopia. […]
It’s a Holiday in the USA! Have fireworks. 🙂
