I’m so honored this year to be leading TWO discussions at Science Online!! The first up will be Dr. Zen and I, talking about blogging for the long haul. How do you keep it going, build your “brand”, and avoid the ever-looming fear of burnout? Let’s talk about strategies and where it all might be […]
For the past…oh my, for the past FIVE YEARS, I’ve been recording, every year, the books I manage to read. Five (gulp) years ago, this was because I was trying the then popular idea to read 100 books in a year. Then I started a blog. 100 books did not happen (though I did get […]
I felt very inspired looking at the recent post from Jeremy Yoder, ‘Knowing what I know now‘. Well, first it reminded me of this: Though of course this is the BEST song of that title: But then it made me think of all the things that I WISH I’d known in grad school, the things […]
Instead of Friday Weird Science this week, Sci is playing host to the Giant’s Shoulders carnival, the carnival on the history of science. And there’s plenty of weird and wild science in there! Everything from flesh eating mammoths to corpse stealing! Head over and check it out.
