We are now continuing on Sci’s new found, somewhat relentless search into the relationship between eating disorders such as binge eating, bulimia, and anorexia, and reward systems that are usually associated with things like drug addiction. And today I found a human study that looks a little…interesting. For a lot of reasons. Let’s talk dopamine […]
Sci got a great email in her little inbox the other day: Most knowledgeable Dr. Scicurious (for which title much congratulations), this aspiring neuroscientist finds itself at a great turning point in its young life, and in need of guidance from its elders. I am going to college in the fall to begin my training […]
Sometimes, Sci is simply inundated with weird science opportunities, and such a week is this one. There is SO MUCH WEIRD OUT THERE, you guys. This is great, as it keeps Friday Weird Science in business, but sometimes Sci has to file away so many for later that she loses track. Here’s really hoping that […]
If you all have been around the blogs of late, there’s been some interesting posts from DrugMonkey and DrPal or how narcotics abusers are perceived by doctors and why (comment threads are especially interesting). It’s an interesting issue and one I think a lot of people should a lot at, because it says a lot […]
You all may remember that Sci’s recent posts have focused on eating, overeating, and dopamine. Today, Sci continues this trend. Honestly, she couldn’t stop thinking about it. How is overeating like addiction? How is it different? And so she began to look up a bunch of papers on binge eating and dopamine. I was particularly […]
First of all, thanks so much to everyone for all their congratulations!!! All the love from the blogosphere made Sci feel very loved indeed all day. Y’all are the best!! Special shout-out to Drugmonkey, who wrote the sweetest thing which made Sci blush very red. She hopes it’s true. And now: NEW BLOGS. We have […]
*Drumroll* DR. SCICURIOUS. (aka Dr. Sci, Dr. Curious, TOTES AWESOME PHD) *fanfare* (Thank you, I’ll be here all week. Try the veal.) That is right, these past few weeks when Sci’s blogging has been…a bit light, have not been due to a much needed vacation to some far away island filled with mai-tais (though that […]
This time of year is a rough one is the Southeast. It’s a time of angiosperm related hyprocrisy. It’s so pretty outside that it cries out for Easter egg hunts, picnics, and other outside activities. (it really does look like this) Unfortunately, once the weather is warm for a few days, it looks like this. […]
This will be the second year that UCLA will hold a rally in support of biomedical science and in support of well-regulated welfare-based animal research. The first one was held last year, and attracted over 700 people! Sci was (and is) unfortunately not in that region, but she remembered last year how excited she was […]
