Sci’s been meaning to cover this paper for a while, honestly. There is really so much to blog and so little time, you know? I saw this paper make a minor splash when it came out back in June, and I’ve been wanting to read it myself. And what better way to really READ a […]
Make sure to check out my post at SciAm today, on “wicked bugs: the louse that conquered Napoleon’s army and other diabolical insects“. It’s a fun read (though unsettling at points, and those sparrow wasps we SCARY), and I got to ask the author a few questions! Head over and check it out!
Honestly, I feel like I write this post every year. Or at least discuss writing it every year. Usually other people say what I think much better on these issues than I do. And yet, every time, I hear from people, via Twitter, Email, etc, saying I should join under my Real Name. That what […]
A weemahway, A weemahway… You think too hard about this paper, you’ll get this song in your head for the next few days. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Humans.

Today being Monday, Sci will be over at her Sci Am blog, expounding today on the latest paper about coffee. I mean, what ELSE?!
We are now at the fourth part in the series in which Sci and Mr. S went to Japan. And I’ve got more photos, and MOAR weird foods!! We headed to Kyoto in the morning, using the famous Shinkansen: the bullet train! This is a very good thing. You can take a normal train from […]
One of my favorite types of posts is the type where I get to throw in a ton of music links. This one is no exception. Put on your headphones! I saw this paper covered in an article on Jezebel before I left for vacation, and there just wasn’t time to cover it then. The […]
