why science is stupid
I’m resubmitting the grant that I submitted to NIH last summer with major revisions. It’s just a fact of science that research has to be hypothesis driven; scientists are rarely able to do research just for the sake of doing it without basing in on prior observations. so I have read the previous research, and I have come up with a hypothesis: the populations of cells in the brain...

the people’s key:
1) unlike most other bright eyes albums, I actually really like the intro speaking part of firewall. especially when he says that hitler is an “asspokin’, charismistic, yeller” that is part alien/demon from another dimension.
2) there seem to be a lot of references to hitler throughout.
3) firewall is one of my favorite songs on the album, although...

Scott, as someone who wants to go into journalism,...
WASHINGTON – Just how confident are you that you made the right decision? New research has uncovered a part of the brain that’s larger in people who seem particularly introspective.
Some people know their minds better than others, and research being reported Friday is a step at understanding the biology behind that important part of human consciousness. It’s work necessary for...

Good read if you’re like me and hate talking. I think that’s what the point of the article is…
No, seriously, reading this for me was downright incredible. I obviously am not a big fan of being pigeon-holed by certain characteristics I hold, but this thing really had a lot of my personality pegged.
i had a few problems with this article and didn’t really take it all that...

edit: i suppose it is part of human nature to be somewhat greedy, but this… this just provides further evidence that the jersey shore cast is not actually human. this is some real superhuman greed.

you know what really grinds my gears?
microsoft word. every time i try to start a sentence with a greek letter like alpha or beta, it always switches it to a regular A or B, even if i specifically use the “insert” option to make it put in the greek letter.

Maybe this will make my tumblr seem more manly.
Dan, I think you’re going to like this quite a bit.
man, that guy might be the best drummer ever. how someone can swing their arms so wildly yet maintain so much control over their timing and hit the right drums is beyond me. i lost it when he started doing the robot dance in the middle.

“Dear Sharon,
My address is correct for right now, as I am presently...”
– Remember this? Yeah? Well, above is what I wrote back today. I was going to threaten her by saying I’d withhold my future donations, but I figured my $30 a year isn’t really all that much a threat. So, I decided I’d just be smarmy. (via justfakeit)

stupid crap
last week discovery channel debuted a show about stephen hawking’s various theories about stuff. the premiere was about his thoughts on alien existence, and he said that aliens certainly exist and we should avoid contact with intelligent civilizations at all costs. since then i’ve seen like 5 headlines a day relating to the topic in some way. for example,

so much for leaving bed today
Listen to me, all of you out there in internet-land: None of you is a statistic, so don’t resign yourself to being one. You still make your own way in this world, damn all the rest.
It’s fucking Tuesday, who else is fired up?

i'm shocked
i was watching tv last night and i saw a commercial for something that could have easily been part of jim gaffigan’s standup routine before it was real. i’m not sure if any of you have seen this, but KFC has introduced a new “sandwich”. it’s two slices of cheese, a few pieces of bacon, some special sauce, but no bread. instead of two slices of bread enclosing this...

milbank flashbacks
i’ve been using this fluorescence microscope the past few days to look at some brain slides i made. for some reason when i have been doing it, i’ve been having weird memories of us sitting in milbank 13e, playing resident evil and doing power hours and whatever else we used to do second semester of that year, and i couldn’t figure out why. then it hit me. it’s an old...
