Sci arrived early to ScienceOnline, and got for the first time to go on one of the lab tours. This time she got to go into the Duke immersive virtual environment (DiVE). This is a completely awesome interactive experience where you put on 3-D glassers, step into a virtual reality room that looks JUST like […]
I’m sure you’ve all heard by now about the huge earthquake that hit Haiti yesterday. As you all probably already know, the proceeds of this blog go to Doctors Without Borders, which is one of the groups trying to do some good down there. While you are certainly welcome to donate with your clicks (which […]

Submit another stupid YouTube video and verily, you shall die. 🙂 We’ve already got over 500 posts, and they’re looking great! And yours could be one! So submit your best stuff, your friend’s […]
The things that happen when Sci is away…seriously, to cover them all, I have to do a TON of blogging. Anyway, we just had two new blogs join the Scienceblogs stable: Evolution for Everyone and Tomorrow’s Table. David Wilson is the author of Evolution for Everyone, a new evolution blog, and Pamela Ronald is the […]
