Sci isn’t feeling very well today folks. She hit the wall during one of her training sessions VERY hard yesterday, and is still trying to convince her weary legs to carry her about the lab with her normal alacrity. So I’m gonna go on a brief rant on the subject of supplemental data. You were […]
LabSpaces is having another topic of the week/month/they just do this stuff sometimes, and invited other networks to participate! Sci is pleased at cross-network collaboration, and also liked this topic which is: What I’d be doing, if I wasn’t doing this. Sci perfers to call it: My DayDream Job, the job you think you’d had […]
So every Monday morning, Sci sits her little butt down in her shiny new office, and starts making lists. I’m a list making kind of person, mostly because I’m crazy organized, but also because my brain is so over-stuffed with stupid stuff like Lady Gaga lyrics (“Eh, eh, there’s nothing else I can say…”) and […]
SfN is currently recruiting new bloggers for this year’s conference in San Diego!! Sci can’t go this year, about which I am horrifically sad. Much as a lot of people malign the conference for being too big, it’s such a wonderful place when you’re getting in to a new field! So many new ideas to […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
Lab Spaces has some great topic ideas sometimes. This week’s (month’s?) is “Things I wish I knew when…”. And I would like to tell you about the thing I did end up knowing. I have passed it on to successive generations, and they tell me that verily, it is the word of truth, righteousness, and […]
The ever perspicacious Drugmonkey has let the world know that CPDD, the College on the Problems of Drug Dependence, has started a BLOG! It will be written by CPDD members and invited writers, and they’ve already got some great stuff up about the politics of drug addiction research. Sci is totally excited that more drug […]
