First, a reminder to everyone to please take the condom breakage survey! Click Here to take survey. I will try to post results at the end of the week. Second, the latest edition of Giant’s Shoulders is out over at the Evilutionary Biologist. And we’re in it, for the post on Death that proved I […]
*drumroll* And the winner is…. me. Yup! Scicurious will be the guest editor of Open Lab 2009! I’m super thrilled to be involved, and it’s a big honor to be asked to do something like this, especially because it means I’ll be buried typing-fingers deep in the best science blogging to be found! For those […]
Every so often, Sci wishes she had a life outside the lab. So then Mr. SiT takes her away from it all for a weekend. This is super fabulous, and Sci has a wonderful time, coming back refreshed and rejeuvenated to… …her overflowing email …her hungry cat …her overflowing desk …etc and in the heat […]
And now we’re back. The last weekend, Sci spent her time at ScienceOnline ’09, the yearly aggregate of science. Every year, the blogging salmon make their way home to spawn, to go to sessions, and, of course, to drink a LOT. It was Sci’s first time, and she had a BLAST. I think I spent […]
…and it shall be called “stuff that Sci thinks is cool”. We can call it STSTIC (like ‘statistic’, only with misplaced letters, or maybe more like “Stastic…”) for short. Welcome to the first issue of “Stastic”, wherein Sci gets all Spastic and Ecstatic (SEE the combination now?!) about the things she missed on the blogsphere. […]
Ok, that just gave me an idea for a poem. I think I have to write it. But first: Giant’s Shoulders went up yesterday at Rigorous trivialities. And we’re in it. So yay. I particularly like the post by bayblab on the rise and fall of phrenology. And tomorrow is a big day! It’s the […]
The History of Science Carnival The Giant’s Shoulders is due to go up on December 15th at Rigorous Trivialities! Also, skullsinthestars is hosting a banner contest for both historically and artistically minded people to help design the banner at the Giant’s Soulder’s site. I am not at all artistic in this area, but I want […]
GrrlScientist talks about Carnivalia, Greg Laden has pictures of the scantily clad, how can I distinguish myself when I post about the Carnivals that are out there? I will gladly accept any ideas out there. But anyway, December Scientiae is up, the HOT version, from Dr. Isis. I wasn’t sure how to contribute to that […]
Happy Monday! Well, for Sci, it is unhappy Monday. She had a super-crazy weekend, is not remotely caught up with work, and is feeling the pain of sleep deprivation. You know, when you’re really tired, piles of papers look kind of like pillows… If anyone wants to rub her little cyber-feet and make her a […]
Encephalon is up at Mind Hacks! Check it out, there’s some very cool stuff, including stuff on childhood amnesia, Long term potentiation (a HUGE deal in a neuroscience now), and three awesome posts from The Mouse Trap on maturity and consciousness. There’s also a really cool post from Neurophilosophy on erasing memories. And there’s a […]
