Firstly, I’d like everyone to note that there is now a specific category for Grad Student Eating in Style! Hopefully I will get a few more recipes in there soon. Every time I tell someone I’m making Okonomiyaki, they ALWAYS look at me with an eyebrow up and say “what’s THAT”? Except for MicroDoc, who […]
WE ARE BACK! We are now officially back to scientopia.org, server change is totally done, and all the feeds are FIXED! Three cheers for Mark, our intrepid Web guy who probably never sleeps.
Sci fully intended to slide this post in for the Carnal Carnival JUST before the deadline, but events conspired against her, and against Friday Weird Science in general! It was too sad. And so Friday Weird Science goes up late today as Sci scrambles to catch up on life. But it’s still about vomit. Because […]
YAY! Stuff is already coming in for the Grad Student Food Carnival, and some of them look…really good. I might have to make some of these… Anyway, this is a reminder to send them in, I will publish them on November First, so your deadline is Saturday, October 30th! And this is also a reminder […]
You all may recall that I posted recently about cocaine escalation in rats. Drugmonkey has also been posting some interesting stuff about addiction and…EXERCISE. And of course, Sci can’t see that and leave it alone. So I’m going back to a paper that really galvanized the idea of exercise in treating addiction. Cosgrove, Hunter, Carroll. […]
Dr. Becca posted something hilarious about her Science Enemy, who actually BROUGHT A RULER to measure her error bars. That’s some serious crazy right there. Drugmonkey agreed with the crazy, but also mentioned that help felt these kind of rivalries help to move science forward. Sci has her own Science Enemy, but more importantly her […]
The things that Sci thinks of when she hasn’t had enough coffee… So here it is. Sci often trades recipes with people. Cheap, easy ones mostly, the cheaper the better. She has posted some of her own on this blog. And then one morning I thought, wouldn’t it be GREAT if hungry grad students could […]
Sci doesn’t usually dip her toe in the water with regard to metabloviation on science outreach and science communication (though she does a lot of both outreach and communication). While I love to run with and develop and perform and output new ideas in science communication and outreach, I find the controversies and discussions surrounding […]
I’m sure you all know how much Sci loves her baked goods. For those who don’t know yet, check out my scone recipe! People who have tried it (n=5 at last count) all say it’s tasty. Go Me! But of course, you can’t have something sweet for breakfast EVERY day. Well, at least, I can’t. […]
When Ed tweeted something earlier this week about the silliest science he had ever seen coming out soon, I figured it would be right up Sci’s alley. And I’m pretty sure this was the paper he referred to, and if it wasn’t, than some truly INSANE science must have gone entirely unnoticed by the main […]
