Sci noticed that Lab Spaces held a small carnival of sorts (or maybe it was synchro-blogging), where they all blogged about something near and dear to their hearts and minds: work-life balance. Sci thinks this synchro-blogging thing is a GREAT idea, and might co-opt this for Scientopia, kind of like zombies. Only about stuff other […]
It’s been a while since Sci covered a good post on stimulants, and I’ve begun to feel the lack. I start to get the shakes, as it were. And this post covers something particularly interesting about cocaine, something VERY interesting about refined sugars, and even more interesting, this paper looks at some of the bugs […]
Sci would like to start this whole thing off on the right foot, and introduce you all (if you’re new to Scientopia and to Neurotic Physiology) by reposting one of the best posts Sci ever wrote. Unfortunately it was also about the 3rd or 4th blog post that I ever wrote as well. I guess […]
Hello and welcome to Scientopia, a brand spanking new blog community of people who are stuck living life in the scientific mind. Sci is SO excited to be here, you guys!!! In fact, she’s so excited she’s going to express herself in verse. Her poetry may very well be the worst poetry in the universe […]
Sci has recently taken to talking about her coffee experiences. She usually buys by the pound, and goes through one pound of coffee solid before she blogs about it. This allows me to get the initial surprise of the new coffee flavor, but also to feel how the coffee feels on a daily basis, what […]
In case you all did know, Sci’s a massive geek. And so she does some massively geeky things. And one of those geeky things is that I watch The Guild. The Guild is a short web-comedy about a bunch of gamers and their rather hilarious, geeky hijinks. It’s now up to season 4, and the […]
You know how it is when you’re in college (or high school). You’ve got that one kid (and yes, it has at some point been you) who’s never had a drink before, and they go to a party. You have a few drinks, they have a few drinks, and pretty soon, even though they have […]
This might be the best thing that Sci has seen ALL WEEK. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2PM0om2El8&hl=en_US&fs=1] Brilliant. Partially because Sci, like many a good girl geek out there, LOVES some Jane Austen (ok, we all fell in love with Pride and Prejudice, secondarily with Sense and Sensibility because Marianne was SUCH a diva, and the other ones fall […]
*I would like to start with a disclaimer. My laptop is broken (AGAIN), and until I invest in a new harddrive, I am going to have to write all the posts on this little netbook, Ruby, who, while intrepid, can’t do JACK when it comes to images. Which means I’ll have to add the images […]
Jason at The Thoughtful Animal let Sci know about this contest, knowing Sci’s love of completely terrible poetry. And now there’s an opportunity for you to compete for the First Annual Charles Prize in Poetry! This will honor the most outstanding poem in the context of health, science, or medicine. Poems should be related to […]
