Sci saw this over at Grrl Scientists’s place yesterday. She’s right, it’s fantastic. I mean, it’s partially great to watch the dude draw (obviously it’s sped up, but the way the synched it is cool), but the conveyance of how motivation works (and more importantly, how much we still don’t understand).

First up, are you all aware that the latest edition of the Giant’s Shoulders is out! And Sci is in it! It’s up at The Dispersal of Darwin. There’s some great stuff there this month! AAAAND. THE NEXT ISSUE OF GIANT’S SHOULDERS WILL BE HERE!! Sci is very excited, she’s never hosted a blog carnival […]
Sci just realized that that should have been the alternate title of her Friday Weird Science post “if you’re happy and you know it, smell some pee”. Because, well, it involves sniffing. And Sci loves anything that involves this guy: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owGykVbfgUE&hl=en_US&fs=1] Ah, Old Spice Man, how I do adore thee. Take me away from all […]
Sci actually considered blogging this paper as just a regular, run of the mill weekday paper…but it’s got urine sniffing. And the idea of making up a song to a paper is one that Sci can never resist. So first, the paper. And then, the song! Malkesman, et al. “The Female Urine Sniffing Test: A […]
Sci has recently did a post on p53. She finds it to be a fascinating little guy, and it might just become her new obsession. It appears to be everywhere, the little protein behind the scenes making things happen. (Awww, look at it, all hugging the DNA like that. What a cutie!) And one of […]
Sci’s not gonna lie, the past several days have been, to say the least, incredibly stressful. I have no idea when blogging went from something that was fun and interesting to something that took up my entire life, but WHOA DUDES. The end result is stress, and Sci has been eating junk food, not sleeping, […]
Sci has not been well these past few days. The issues inherent in PepsiCo blogs and everything else have been a really rough strain. Even more of a strain has been watching everyone ELSE react to the mess. Sci has seen rationalizations and justifications for leaving, for staying, for doing absolutely nothing, and for judging […]
So Mr. SiT and I were sitting around the dinner table last night. A lot of funny things happen when Mr. S is around. This is mostly because Mr. S is extremely humorous and witty. Sci is witty too. We often have explosions of hilarity and wittiness the like of which were commonly seen in […]
Today’s post is some seriously OLD science. Old science and WEIRD science, coming to you courtesy of Mt. Sinai hospital in NYC, 1913. And it’s also the WEIRDEST conjunction of this: And this: That Sci has ever seen. Gerster AG, Mandlebaum FS. “XI. On the Formation of Bone in the Human Penis.” Annals of Surgery, […]
So far, it’s been about three months since Sci’s dissertation. During that time, she has: – defended her dissertation – moved to New Huge City – started a post-doc(!) – been sending out paper to beef up her little CV – been learning large numbers of new, difficult, cool techniques – been awesome – completely […]
