Day 6: The WALL! (Yes. I am standing on a 2000 year old UNESCO World Heritage Site. What did YOU do today?) After a fortifying breakfast (it was make your own, which I really liked, and I have MASTERED the full English breakfast! With beans! Good for hiking fuel, beans) we set off. 15 miles […]
Ok, we’re not to Hadrian’s Wall yet. Patience. Patience. Day 3: Edinburgh, part the third. Did you know that bagpipe renditions of Coldplay exist? I could have gone my entire life without knowing that. Sadly, it was blasting from a souvenir shop. Which means, of course…I had to find it and share it with you. […]
Because while I wasn’t here, I left blog posts in my wake! At SciAm while I was gone, you could read about a sleep study that looked at food intake. Not surprisingly, sleep less, gain more. But what is it carbs? Fat? Protein? Head over and find out! And not only that, I also wrote […]
Hey everyone! Just to let you all know, I’m headed out to the Wild Beyond for the next couple of weeks. Where the Wild Beyond is will be revealed upon my return. I might even travelblog it (if you’re unlucky), like I did when I went to Japan. In the meantime, I have worked very […]

Today, I’d like to take the opportunity to assess my readers! Who are you? And why are you looking at me? I’d like to know what you like about the blog, and what you think I could do to improve! So I’ve set up a survey! It’s very short, and I’d really appreciate the minute […]
Sci is at SciAm blogs today talking about…well…who am I? I think it’s time you all found out. Head over and check it out!
Happy New Year’s Eve to everyone!!! Well, Happy New Year’s Eve from the lab. Because there’s where Sci is. Rodents don’t really care if it’s a holiday. Does anyone have any New Year’s Resolutions? Sci’s always involve publication numbers…but I’d like to hear yours. What have you got?
For the past…oh my, for the past FIVE YEARS, I’ve been recording, every year, the books I manage to read. Five (gulp) years ago, this was because I was trying the then popular idea to read 100 books in a year. Then I started a blog. 100 books did not happen (though I did get […]
BEHOLD, THE SCI-TREE. We…don’t actually celebrate Christmas, but I know there will be no readers today. But for those of you who ARE around, let me take this opportunity to say thanks. Thanks so much for reading, for picking on my typos, for giving me feedback, and for keeping me writing! Have a happy […]
