When Sci gets in a parody-ing mood, all sorts of things come out. Evil things. Things like this. I blame Isis for what is about to follow. Her love of Spears is well-known, though I imagine the goddess will never have to plead for funding in this manner.
You know that huge “25 things” meme going around Facebook? I hate those things. I’ve got something like 20 notes now that have me “tagged”. I kind of want to fill it out, and it would look something like this: 1) I hate memes 2) I really hate memes where people try too hard to […]
In my previous depression post, I talked about the symptoms and characterization of depression. In this one, I want to talk about what’s out there to treat it.
I love when I can talk about science while using words like “testicles” and “cocks”. I really should have gone into something like urology, only then I know people would probably be all serious about it. And where’s the fun in that? Anyway, today’s Weird Science comes to you courtesy of Monica, an awesome reader […]
Today I present a “guest” post from reader of the blog Martin! I do not personally Twitter, because I have FAR too many distractions in my day without adding another way to be connected. But I feel this captures the essence of Twitter. And I really like the last line. 🙂 Apparently it has a […]
Sci’s going to go ahead and admit, the last few weeks have been a little…brutal. Ok, maybe a LOT brutal. Grad school can be tough at times, and involve days that leave Scicurious wiped. But the posts must go on! And so, today your tough little grad student (YTLGS) is fortifying herself with the best […]
I don’t generally miss my old blog, per se. I do kind of miss the layout, and I’ll admit my name was pretty cool. But really, when I miss anything, I miss my old basic science posts I wrote. And since basic science is one of the things I’m all about (along with weird and […]
Sci has a confession to make. I don’t own a TV. Well, rather, I do. It only works to hook a DVD player up to it. Being completely addicted to the internet as I am, I don’t miss it. I also never really watched TV as a kid. In a way, I miss out on […]
I am an unabashed lover of Scientific American. Well, ok, I’m also a grad student. So I can’t AFFORD Scientific American. But luckily, Scientific American has podcasts! There’s a regular weekly one that is around 40 minutes long, and then there are daily ones, called ’60-second science’. 60-second science represents the latest science tidbits as […]
In the second out of three possible papers for journal club, I got this paper courtesy of Physioprof. And I’m very glad he sent it to me. I get tons of Tables of Contents in my inbox every day, but I tend not to go through them until I need a paper for Journal Club. […]
