As I mentioned before, I am SO excited this year to be able not only to go, but to BLOG the 2011 Experimental Biology meeting in Washington, DC! I’ve been trolling laboriously through the abstracts, looking for some great science to share. I’ll be getting in touch with various presenters, to ask if they want […]
Sci is so excited, you guys. This year will be the first time that I will be heading to the huge Experimental Biology meeting in Washington DC (as a member of ASPET, obs). And, even BETTER, the kind people at EB have decided to allow me to blog the meeting!!! It’s going to be a […]
Sci is thrilled to have been invited to guest post over at the brand new blog Science of Blogging, a blog which explores how to blog about science, and issues that can come up. Sci has shared her somewhat paltry wisdom on the subject of starting a science blog ALL YOUR OWN, and she would […]
Sci received information about this new blog over the weekend, but didn’t get a chance to blog about it til now. It turns out the the fabulous Peter and Travis of Obesity Panacea have started a new OTHER blog, this one about how science blogging (called, strangely enough, the Science of Blogging), and the promotion […]
Sci got very interested in the responses to her last post asking educators (and others), if they used my blog in teaching and why. I’d like to follow up more on this, and ask another question: What are the signs of a good basic blog? Breadth of coverage? In depth? Cited sources? What makes a […]
I’m not the only one who’s thankful around here! Dorothea is thankful for her iMac (having just got one…I actually agree. I never thought I would say that…). She is also thankful for Heather Joseph. Heather Joseph never, ever, ever makes that mistake. She tells the straight story, don’t get me wrong, but she’s got […]
Sci will admit she’s actually thankful for a LOT of people in science. Her mentors, official and unofficial, the greats in her field, her colleagues, LOTS of people. She is thankful for her parents for encouraging her to go into science once she expressed the desire (they always thought I’d be an English major). But […]
Well, ok, Sci’s thankful for lots of things. Having recently completed a rather difficult race, I’m very thankful right now for ice packs. (Not Sci’s knees. But they might as well be. Source) Also Gu. I <3 Gu. (Source. Ok ok, most Gu tastes really crappy. But Chocolate Outrage is good. And when you’re more […]
Sci doesn’t generally like expressing her opinion on things in the blogsphere. It usually gets her yelled at, and Sci is a very conflict-averse little soul. But every once in a while. I see something that gets me thinking. And so I must comment. And at least half the internet will probably declare war on […]
