Friday Weird Science: The Million Diatom Orgy

Sci is unfortunately unable to get her hands on the real journal article behind this week’s weird science. That’s because it isn’t out yet. But look for it soon in “Deep-Sea Research II”, which to Sci sounds a lot like an awesome sequel to an action-biography about Jacques Cousteau. I would definitely go and see […]

Friday Weird Science: Creative Uses of the Stopwatch

For Sci, the weird science tends to come in spurts (heh heh…heh). There will be times when I am literally digging through Pubmed trying to find ANYTHING ODD AT ALL, and then there are times, like now, when people are tweeting and emailing and g-chatting and all but screaming in my ear with the weird. […]

Breaking Tuesday Weird Science!

Normally Sci wouldn’t bother with weird science until Friday (the rest of the week is reserved for ACTUAL science, you know. And terrible poetry, of course), but this is just too good. And there’s no actual paper on it. So it’s Tuesday Weird Journalistic Science…or something. So we’re going to have to be…premature. Premature Ejaculation: […]

Friday Weird Science: Oxytocin in your Cavernosa

This post brought to you by Ben and Jerry’s Dublin Mudslide Ice Cream. Because the Twitter people are like little devils on my shoulder, making me eat the cake… So Sci was going to do her final oxytocin post on another study in humans for oxytocin levels during male masturbation, but you know, you’ve seen […]

Friday Weird Science: Oxytocin and the Big O

Rounding out Sci’s first week of the Great Oxytocin Posting of 2009 (oh yes, there will be two weeks of this, hang tight), we’ve gotta do something weird. And luckily for everyone, oxytocin does lend itself to the strange types of studies. Like multi-orgasmic studies. Complete with measurements of anal contraction. You know you wanna […]

Friday Weird Science: The Stuttering Priapism

Editor’s Selection Icon Who would have thought Sci would be running a normal pub-med search, for something COMPLETELY not weird science material, and come across…this? Truly, it was meant to be! This case report is probably one of the weirdest things I’ve seen all week, and kept Sci scratching her head as to the possible […]

Friday Weird Science: The Deadly Sneeze

Sci always has all these PLANS for weird science, all these THINGS she’s going to blog about. Seriously, a post on Ritalin-induced stuttering priapism (heh…heh…) awaits! But then, Mo posts something like this on Twitter, and Sci just HAS to cover it. It’s too weird! Though it’s not ACTUAL science, it still qualifies. How many […]
