Sci recently got a slow cooker (aka a crockpot, aka whatever else you call those things). I’ve been wanting one for ages, it seems like a fabulous way to eat cheap and healthy, not to mention one that is suitable for the academic lifestyle (chuck stuff in the pot, go to lab for 8 hours, […]
I was going to start with a brief Storify on this, but Storify is not being kind today. 🙁 Instead we start with one prophetic tweet: So a) is this true? Can people on clomipramine REALLY experience orgasms while yawning? And b) how the HECK does that work? I did a little digging, and I’ve […]
Ok, really, this is the last neuroblogging post! All together I put up 11 science posts on various awesome posters and presentations at SfN, as well as 5 or so other posts on life at the conference, how to handle it, and what you might get out of it. I think it was a pretty […]
We’re home from the conference, and it’s time for some reflection. Today’s? Packing. Every time Sci goes to a conference, I end up getting asked for stuff. Chances are, I usually have it. I’ve got a long history of packing for conferences and other kinds of travel, and I’ve become kind of a master. I’m […]
I have to reblog this to prove to @mocost that I thought of it FIRST. 🙂 Today’s repost is adapted from the SfN conference in Chicago in 2009. Sci is still in SFN recovery, so we’re having no Friday Weird Science this week. Recovery from the science hangover (located primarily in the Academic Gyrus of […]
I will admit, Sci’s #sfn11 science hangover is massive. I spent the last five days surrounded by science, getting little sleep, crappy food, and working out my liver heavily (always difficult on me, Sci has the liver of a chihuahua). Today all I really wanted to do was finish up the Neuroblogging, lie around in […]
Yes, Sci’s neuroblogging extends over time! There was just so much SCIENCE I couldn’t keep it within the bounds of SfN. There will be one more science post coming at your eyeballs soon, as well as some reflections on the meeting. And if anyone wants to know how to build your own poster tube strap […]
The SfN Neuroblogging posts are coming thick and fast! Make sure you head over to Scientific American and check out the latest posts from the Society for Neuroscience conference, including posts on grey matter and BMI, the serotonin transporter and animal models of depression, and how we process silently read text. Register to leave comments […]
The latest post on Sunday’s poster sessions is up at Scientific American, where I’m talking about glucose utilization in the male titi monkey, a very devoted monkey daddy. Go and check it out!
Sci is on a roll today you guys! Behold the first of Sunday’s SfN Neuroblogging, on a poster which examined glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptor responses to behavioral stress in week old baby neurons. Check it out over at Scientific American, and if you want to chat about it there or here, live it up!
