Anyone who follows Sci’s twitter feed (you can grab it in the upper right of the blog! Is that a cute feature or what!) will know that Sci LOVES her scones. And cake. And cupcakes. And croissants. Basically, I love baked goods. They are made of awesome and win. I was listening to a podcast […]
As all you happy neuroscience geeks know, the annual Society for Neuroscience (SfN) meeting is fast approaching! Sci wishes desperately she were going, but right now it looks like only the powers of the science gods could get her that coveted late-breaking abstract, for the science doth not smile upon this young post-doc. But that […]
Today, Sci would like to take you down memory lane. The memory lane of 4 months ago (or so) when I was writing my dissertation.
Sci noticed that Lab Spaces held a small carnival of sorts (or maybe it was synchro-blogging), where they all blogged about something near and dear to their hearts and minds: work-life balance. Sci thinks this synchro-blogging thing is a GREAT idea, and might co-opt this for Scientopia, kind of like zombies. Only about stuff other […]
I tried to find a video of the Emperor’s New Groove where Yzma gets turned into a cat and it’s hilarious and adorable. But all I could find were fandubs, most of which were terrible. Why the heck do people make versions of this stuff and put it out there on the internet! It’s a […]
Samia, over at 49 Percent, is about to become a brand spanking new grad student. And, like the good blogger she is, she’s interested in the input of…other bloggers. What’s grad school going to be like? What should people watch out for? What things should you look for when choosing a lab? When choosing a […]
First off, YAY ED!!! Ed Yong, of Not Exactly Rocket Science Fame, has won the Top Quark Prize for Science, given out by Three Quarks Daily. His post, on gut bacteria in Japanese people who love sushi, is truly really awesome. Kudos also to the winners of the Strange Quark and the Charm Quark! Well […]
Sci would like to note that she is without internet for the next few days for various reasons. Thus, there is a repost. Play nice on the internet everyone, or I’ll send the Evil Monkey after you. He bites. 🙂 Over my years as a grad student, I’ve been a guinea pig for more than […]
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 […]
*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 […]
