Sadly, Sci is NOT joining in the fun at the 2013 Experimental Biology meeting. 🙁 I really wish that I could have gone this year, but sadly, it’s not possible, and I’m going to be one of those horrible deadbeats with an empty posterboard. But there are others at Experimental Biology, and they are blogging […]
I realize it’s been a while since EB 2012 ended and I left the not-so-sunny San Diego (at least, it wasn’t sunny at the time). Conferences are always great for the development of ideas. You get new ideas about your research, new directions to go in or troubleshooting things to try. And at EB this […]
While Sci recovers from the Experimental Biology meeting, I invite you to enjoy this storify, taken as Pascale and I enjoyed an American Physiological Association presentation on…taints. That’s right. ‘Taint balls, ‘Taint anus, it’s the area in between. And there are some new and interesting findings in the taint world, not to mention all the […]
At Sci Am Blogs today, I’ve got my latest (but not QUITE the last!) piece on the newest work coming out of the Experimental Biology meeting. Today I am very pleased to be catching up on the work of the Jones lab at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, and their project involving the […]
For day 4 of the Experimental Biology conference, I’m talking about a study examining the effects of hallucinogens on zebrafish behavior, and their potential usefulness as a model for schizophrenia. Head over and check it out!
For day 3 of the Experimental Biology conference, I found a cool new study examining the effect of cancer chemotherapy on cognitive function in mice. With more and more cancer survivors, we now have to think about the long term effects of chemotherapy, and how to make sure that cancer survivors can have the best […]
At Scientific American, I’m talking about a cool poster I saw on Day 2 of the Experimental Biology conference, where a chemical called Dif-1 from slime mold may be able to attack estrogen receptor alpha positive breast cancers! Head over a check it out.
Sci’s first post for Experimental Biology 2012 is up at Scientific American! I’m writing on a study looking at histamine as a drug punisher to decrease the reinforcing value of cocaine. Head over and check it out!
So this will hopefully be one of the last of Sci’s Experimental Biology Blogging posts. It’s been a great experience, but OH MAN has it been tiring. But this will be the last, I think. Sci got into blogging Experimental Biology through the interest and very kind advocacy of the communications officer of the American […]
Sci is guest posting over at Science of Blogging today, where I will be talking about my recent blogging of the Experimental Biology 2011 Conference and offer my perspective (and some tips, though you by no means need to take them) on blogging a conference as a scientist. If you’re interested in blogging a conference […]
