Unfortunately, Sci missed a little of the furor of “Silence in the Enemy”. Something is not happy with her Google Reader. But the response has been AMAZING. Please check them all out if you get the chance, especially as many of the people who posted will be donating to Doctors Without Borders this month. And […]
let’s talk about status. Status and height. Because it is, after all, the size that counts.
As you all might have noticed yesterday, Silence is the Enemy is spreading like…only something on the internet can spread. It’s even made the NY Times! It’s wonderful to see something like this capturing so much attention. But this is not just a single day initiative. This is an ongoing, month-long drive to raise as […]

Been here since 8am, when I found out that the freezer that stores my carefully sampled fruit slices had become unplugged the previous evening. Water all over the floor, and all […]
So what do you need to make a groundbreaking paper (in this case a paper in Nature)? Some juice, some air, and a couple of monkeys.
Isn’t “quark” a great word!?! Quarkquarkquarkquark. I think it may have more appeal than “spork” and that’s saying something. Hehe. Quark. Anyway, it turns out that 3 Quarks Daily is handing out QUARKS! They are handing out awards for science, arts and literature, philosophy, and political blogging on the two solstices and two equinoxes. As […]
Is up! And we’re in it. Two posts on Opponent-Process theory! I highly recommend this edition, there’s an entire section on addiction, including an article on the addictive potential of marijuana, and another on the myth of dopamine and pleasure (ain’t pleasure, it’s…salience…sort of…of value-related stimuli). Also, check out Juniorprof today, great post up on […]
