It is rare that a non-fiction book, let alone a non-fiction book about science, makes me laugh so hard I have to put the book down until I can get off the floor. In fact, I would say it’s only happened once. That once was during this last week, when I finally got to read […]
And now we’re back. The last weekend, Sci spent her time at ScienceOnline ’09, the yearly aggregate of science. Every year, the blogging salmon make their way home to spawn, to go to sessions, and, of course, to drink a LOT. It was Sci’s first time, and she had a BLAST. I think I spent […]
Not only are these things you shouldn’t do for kicks, but things that you should NEVER EVER have your friends do to you at a bachelor party. Those people are not your friends. You’d think that, no matter how drunk you were, you wouldn’t agree when someone said “Hey, let’s see if we can fit […]
So apparently there’s a WHOLE NEW SPARKLY SHINY BLOG on here! I think I’m missing emails from teh overlordz here (did I say overlords? I meant protectors!). But anyway, Dr. Pal, formerly of the fabulous denialism blog, has resurrected his OWN blog, White Coat Underground, here at ScienceBlogs! It’s on medical ethics and stuff. It’s […]
Over my years as a grad student, I’ve been a guinea pig for more than a few research studies. Most of the people leading the studies are fellow grad students (I’m never involved with the work at all), and it’s good to help them out. A lot of times the studies are kind of cool […]
I’ll admit, life’s been crazy around here. Barely enough time to check the blogs what with prepping for ScienceOnline ’09 (Everyone come to my Blogging on the History of Science panel!), prepping everything in the lab so the lab continues to run while I’m AT ScienceOnline ’09, and keeping the hot science running on a […]
Does the name Korsakoff ring any bells for you? How about Wernicke? And what about Wernicke-Korsakoff? Ok, it may not mean much to you right now (except as a hyphenated name guaranteed to give some poor kid fits when they have to fill in the bubbles on the SAT), but after today, I hope it […]
Testing…testing… Unlike other bloggers who apparently sat in corners with their laptops, rocking back and forth and hitting refresh over and over again, Sci only did that a FEW times (and it’s really only because she’s sadly addicted to things like her email). More importantly, Sci spent her weekend with Mr. SiT, building her very […]
As I’m sure you guys have heard from the other SBlings, the site is going dormant for a bit while we upgrade to a better publishing platform. You’ll still be able to see the posts, but no new posts will go up, and commenting will be down. This means you MUST COMMENT NOW OR FOREVER […]
Every once in a while, when I look at the lit, I’m truly amazed by the things people report in. This one didn’t even need any playing with the title. It’s just too good. Rose, et al. “The bra-strap injury: should men have lessons?” British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2001. This post shall otherwise be […]
