I’m sure by now many of you have seen the…interesting…article written by Dr. Kern in Cancer Biology and Therapy, berating cancer researchers for…*gasp*…working less than 80 hours a week when we haven’t cured can cancer yet. Sci considered a truly vitriolic series of responses to this article*, but other people have been there before me, […]
Sci actually spends a lot of time thinking about being a woman in science. I am, after all, a woman in science. I don’t generally blog about it (I feel like other people do that a lot better than I would), but sometimes…things just hit me. There’s a lot about being a woman in science […]
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 received a Tweet from @culturingsci on this one, and just HAD to share it with the masses (Thanks, @culturingsci!!). It’s a site full of Fabric Brain Art, and while @tvjrennie may say that the “museum” = “ceder chest”, well, that means it smells very nice. 🙂 The whole thing reminded me of some of […]
We here at Scientopia do hope you all enjoyed our Women’s Health writeup! More posts will be continuing as the week goes on, but here’s a brief list of some of the coverage of what in Women’s Health is good, what’s bad, and what’s…kind of hilarious. The GOOD! Chemical BiLOLogy: Survive your Doctor. Arlenna talks […]
You might want to check it out. Sci displays her opinions on the serotonin theory of depression and why I don’t think it’s right. There are already lots of good comments (some of which I feel are already misinterpreting what I wrote pretty badly), and I may try to respond to them either there, or […]
Dear Awesome Speaker, Verily, you are indeed awesome. You’re a really Big Wig in this field, and that’s really something you should be proud of. You seem like a pretty decent guy. And your data is REALLY SWEET. It’s really freakin’ cool. I’m not gonna lie. But. There’s showing off your cool data, and then […]
Welcome to my post on the Women’s Health Writeup! I at first didn’t see much I could do in this article on cheating (is fidelity obsolete?), but the more I read, the more I saw to write. Sci isn’t an ethicist or sociologist and thus cannot really comment on the question of cheating in those […]
I’ll admit that I haven’t been blogging a lot of coffees, but that’s partially because not to many people seem interested (I mostly like to keep track of what I tried and what I thought of it), and partially because it DOES take me a while to get through a whole pound. I have been […]
SfN is currently recruiting new bloggers for this year’s conference in San Diego!! Sci can’t go this year, about which I am horrifically sad. Much as a lot of people malign the conference for being too big, it’s such a wonderful place when you’re getting in to a new field! So many new ideas to […]
