Noisy Death Panel

March 12, 2011

So you think you have a niche cornered, right? I figured, how many other loud scientists can there be? But some chick comes along calling herself the “Noisy Developmental Biologist.” Rolls off the tongue… not. She showed up on one of my favorite podcasts, The Death Panel, which is an insightful romp through the important…

Listen to Skeptically Speaking this Friday night as I join psychotherapist Dana Blumrosen, writer/performer Kennedy Goodkey, and the ever-lovely show host Desiree Schell as we talk about our favorite science books. Woo hoo! That’s right, me… on…

I'm not a TOTAL Blogging Slacker…

Despite my inactivity over on this blog (shameful, I know), I’m still out and about on the internets. Once I got back from my crazy-busy teaching semester, and a busy-then-relaxing two weeks in NY and PA, I got back to my regular blogging over at Discovery Space. The latest is a summary of the astronomy…

Work Break

I’m still alive…. and working…. and needed a short break…. I know I tweeted this twice already, but I can’t stop laughing at it… “The Turkey that Ate St. Louis” or how astronomy grad students procrastinated in 1969… Also, “Gettin’ Pissed with the FDO” from Dragon*Con 2009, finally posted! Well, the first one. Not safe…

In the meantime…

Back at work this week… going through the usual OMGGRADSCHOOLPANIC and so less time to write, for fun anyway. In the meantime, there’s a new Carnival of Space #141 up at Starry Critters. There’s more fun stuff on STS-130, SDO (of course), those cute little CubeSats and CubeLabs, and that’s just around the Earth! There…

First, as I mentioned earlier, check out the Carnival of Space #136 at Simostronomy. There’s an update on Spirit, more news from the AAS, and the usual spaceflight goodness. Second, I had a great conversation with Mister Payne for the Religion of Curiosity podcast, and the episode has just posted. This is a really great…

Dragon*Con Post-Op

Holy. Frakkin. Wow. So, I attended, no, experienced my very first Dragon*Con. It was on a scale of something that I have never seen before. Tens of thousands of freaks and geeks, many in costume, descended upon downtown Atlanta to laugh, squee, drink, and just be themselves (or whoever they want to be) for a…

Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!

I was particularly intrigued by a story on This Week in Science, well, this week, about a mountain range as big as the Alps that has been found under the Antarctic ice sheet. Thanks to radar, we can now map these mountains, which will help scientists understand how the Antarctic ice sheet may have formed.…

I’m a terrible blogger. Although, that means I’m actually getting massive amounts of work done. (But getting sick, that wasn’t fun!) And dance has started up again… crazy schedule! We just had the 3rd Charlottesville Skeptics Meetup tonight, and it was awesome! So many of us, we rocked Court Square. A little while ago, our…
