Dear Bicyclists, I like you guys. You always look so friendly, whizzing along on your bikes, little backpacks on or with saddlebags or baskets. Earth-friendly, healthy, energetic. I like this. I am almost jealous, especially feeling like a horrid person driving around in my car (not much of a gas-guzzler, but I could still do […]

Today I want to mention the neuroscience blog that first left me in awe. This one: That’s right. Mo of Neurophilosophy. His blog is probably not for the faint of heart, but for someone interested in neuroscience, it’s a gold mine. I am continually impressed by Mo’s ability to deliver well-worded, well-researched stuff in an […]

Last week I mentioned a blogger (this guy) who has been a real inspiration to me. This week, I’m gonna keep it up. I cannot say whether it will be every week, but there are a LOT of bloggers out there who impress me, so who knows? And this week, I’m featuring this one: This […]

Sci’s been seeing some things lately, wherein people talk about their favorite science writers/bloggers. In fact, Sci was lucky enough to be one someone’s short list!!! And I think it’s a great idea to recognize bloggers who have influenced us, or who are just simply great, especially if they are out of our area of […]

Sci will admit that she hasn’t listened to They Might be Giants since…ummm…that Istanbul song. Which was awesome. But now this video has been going around. And it’s awesome. And it’s simple: Science is REAL! Though I want to nitpick that they didn’t make any specific references to chemistry…

Sigh. It crept up on me. I feel so…not old. But today, today is the DAY! Today is the anniversary of Sci’s very first post at Scienceblogs!!! I’d like to thank the Academy… It really doesn’t feel like it’s been very long at all. Heck, it feel’s like it’s been WAY less than a year. […]

I’m sure those of you around the blogosphere have heard about the contest for a blogger to go to Antarctica, right? And did you know that our lovely Grrl is in the running?! But, you say, what of it. Well, I say, she is in the TOP THREE!! But, you say, how do we know […]

Encephalon is up at Neuronarrative. Sadly, Sci was too lazy/busy/crazy/dumb to submit one of our posts, but there’s plenty there to see! Especially a post from the Neurocritic on the clitoral homunculous!!! I really wish I had seen that one first… Also, the carnival is Monty Python themed. I mean, how great is THAT?!?! And […]

…makes you want to run and hide. Which is why Sci put off checking her Google Reader for so long…she is also CURSING those people who don’t believe in putting things below the fold. I’m looking at YOU, Built on Facts and Starts with a Bang. But I’m looking at you with LOVE. But there […]

To the Lab Person who Stole my favorite fine-tip Sharpie, You horrible, cruel person! How could you!?! I mean, really. Everyone in science knows the power of a really good Sharpie. We have them in all shapes, sizes, and colors. I love them all. Really, scientists live by the sharpie. When you need to mark […]
