In this holiday season, baking and cooking and cleaning and stuff can take over your life. But they won’t. Why? Because LINKS ARE HERE to distract you. Grab some coffee. Sip with me. Monday: Really important, and depressing, thoughts from @DNLee5 on academic insecurities.http://ow.ly/Vr4fD On considering advisor fame: a tragedy of the commons. http://ow.ly/Vr4FA by […]
It’s true! These roundups have indeed proven themselves useful. I needed link from last week, and lo and behold there it was! And so, this week, the links continue. Split-crotch pants, fake bacon. Superpuffs. And coffee. (The resemblance between Daria and myself is really pretty shocking) Monday: This week’s word can be…glowing.

New phrase: The Monbees. This is the feeling I get every Monday as my to do list begins to expand in logarithmic fashion and I end up freezing up around 1pm, paralyzed over which task I should tackle next, as I make post-it note lists of my priorities over and over and over. It’s a […]
It was Thanksgiving this week in the US, but science does not care for your arbitrary holidays. Oh no. Thankfully, there is coffee. So here’s some links I read this week. Grab some coffee.

Headin’ in toward Thanksgiving, but the links continue on! This owl with coffee is my spirit animal. Monday: The sweet, sweet history of honey goes back 9,000 years. ow.ly/UwWTH World top scientists. Almost all guys. Picture speaks volumes. forbes.com/sites/kerryado…via @DoctorZen These always read as pretentious to me, but I identify with them, too. 🙂 “Why […]
Another week, another pile of links! It’s a (tiny) bit of work to put these together, so I keep having to think to myself: eight in a row! Streak! Streak! Streak! I think I can! MORE COFFEE. Monday: Miss some of the links I tweeted this week? I rounded them up for you. Bras, […]
I tweet a lot. Sometimes I tweet so much I forget the links I’ve tweeted. So here they are. Grab some coffee. Sip with me. Monday: Why sports bras suck, and how people are designing better ones. So cool. By @roseveleth ow.ly/U04p6 The idea that the female excavation team for H. naledi was all […]
I’ve put up a new page on the site, with some frequently asked questions, including but not limited to “How did you get to where you are now?” and “Do you have a copy of the Lippman, 1980 paper on the Social Psychology of Flatulence?” So if you have ever had any of those question, […]
Happy Halloween! I mostly consider it an excuse to eat candy. And drink coffee. Monday: Can’t sing on key? Blame your brain.ow.ly/TQm8M From #sfn15 on true tone-deafness. Yes, bacon is now classified as a carcinogen. But look at the relative risk CAREFULLY. ow.ly/TQwHg One mathematician’s formula suggests that all-male lineups don’t “just happen.” The […]
It’s been a fabulous week in Chicago my friends, at the greatest show on Earth, the Society for Neuroscience conference. Much science was learnt. Much coffee was consumed. And the Twitter links?
