There’s a story that’s been flying around the internet (I saw the first bits this morning), that a group of scientists have found changes in brain activity associated with hyposexual desire disorder. Dr Petra and Maria Wolters and I got to chatting about it on Twitter, and wanting to find out what to REALLY think, […]
This week Sci continues her coverage of the IgNobel prizes, those prizes given for the greatest and WEIRDEST (but not at all useless) science on the planet. It’s an award after Sci’s own little heart. And today we get to one of my personal favorites from this year: GODZILLA SLIME MOLDS!!! Oops. This is a […]
This Friday we are continuing coverage of the most recent IgNobel prizes, those awesome prizes given to celebrate the truly odd, yet wonderful findings in scientific research. Sci LOVES these prizes. In fact, someday I want to be invited, so I can LIVE BLOG these prizes. Interview the winners! Have hilarious conversations! YES! You should […]
So I heard recently the IgNobels were announced!!! I <3 the IgNobels. Someday, Sci would like to be JUST famous enough to live blog the IgNobel ceremony and cover all the winners. SO FUN. But until that day, Sci will have to cover them from afar! And to that end, I thought it’d be fun […]
I had another post lined up for this week, but I saw this abstract over at NCBI ROFL…and was lost. I had to blog it. It is GOLD. (Blogging GOLD, I say) So ladies. Your bra. Does it make you feel…inhibited? Do you feel it constipates your breast freedom, so to speak? Lee, Kikufuji, Tokura. […]
Sci has covered a bunch of stuff in the past on the subject of female orgasm. That mysterious thing which so few appear to understand, and which always seems to be the one subject about sex that women’s magazines avoid like the plague (seriously, tons of articles on how to please HIM, but nothing on […]
Sci fully intended to slide this post in for the Carnal Carnival JUST before the deadline, but events conspired against her, and against Friday Weird Science in general! It was too sad. And so Friday Weird Science goes up late today as Sci scrambles to catch up on life. But it’s still about vomit. Because […]
When Ed tweeted something earlier this week about the silliest science he had ever seen coming out soon, I figured it would be right up Sci’s alley. And I’m pretty sure this was the paper he referred to, and if it wasn’t, than some truly INSANE science must have gone entirely unnoticed by the main […]
This one is for the ladies: And today I present you with the man himself: Ernst Grafenberg, discoverer of the G spot, and, only slightly less well-known as the inventor of ‘the ring’ and its potential use in contraception. It’s weird, historical science time. Grafenberg, E. “The role of urethra in female orgasm”. The International […]
Yup, you knew it! Let’s go back to basics. Let’s talk about ERECTIONS. Deng et al. “Real-time three-dimensional ultrasound visualization of erection and artificial coitus” International Journal of Andrology, 2006. I would have loved to see the advertisements for this study: “Men needed between ages 18-65 for study of erection and coitus. Must have no […]
