An Open Letter to the American Chemical Society

Dear ACS, You are the greatest. No really, you are. No matter what has happened to me through my years in graduate school, you, the ACS, have been by my side, sending me monthly issues of C&E News, offering to help me find jobs in the event of graduation, and never hesitating to show me […]

Look at Us!!!!

Check it out you guys! Look up! Pretty pretty banner! All new and sparkly! We figured the old one was no good now that there are THREE neuro-nuts as opposed to one. Or two. And this banner is all awesome, and due to the art of Irradiatus at Biochemical Soul. Check out his art! It’s […]

Teh Tuesdai Links

This is partially a reminder to myself that August Scientiae is looking for posts. This month’s is going to be at Terra Sigillata, and theme is “Summer days, driftin’ away” Sci finds it completely impossible to see that phrase without completing the song in her head, and without thinking how DUMB it is that Sandy […]

In which there is Controversy

Sci will admit, she pretty much went all this week without opening her RSS feed. Bad Sci, Bad!!! Priorities! And thus it turns out I missed the latest edition of the Giant’s Shoulders!

‘Tis the 4th

w00t I know not all my readers are from the US (I know I’ve got a couple in the UK, some in Canada, and some in New Zealand. What up, guys?) but ’round these digs, the 4th of July is usually celebrated as Independence Day, the day a bunch of people who didn’t like their […]

Has you any Russian Brides?

Ok, there’s a big furor going on around Scienceblogs over some truly disgusting ads in the side bars for thing like Thai women and Russian brides and chelation therapy. Sci would like to take this opportunity to state that Neurotopia in no way approves of these ads. However, I haven’t really seen them popping up […]

Happy Hump Day

It wasn’t until college that Sci first heard Wednesday referred to as “Hump Day”. She apologizes for a certain lack of hefty content in the latest series of posts. This thing, they call it “real” life”, and it’s getting in the way. But there are some things you NEED to see. 1) The guys at […]
