I’m sure most of my (few) readers are already reading Pharyngula, but this just has to be shared. I’ve been following the sordid saga of Expelled! on P. Z. Myers’ blog since he first learned that he’d been interviewed under false pretenses for this creationist propaganda “documentary”. Of course, the makers of Expelled are being [...]

Ha! Take that, thesis!

Finally turned in my thesis this morning, after days of thinking about nothing else! Gosh it feels good to be done–46 pages of topology, and right now I feel like I have bits of my brain dribbling out my ears. The good news is that I feel like once I recover for a few days, [...]

Because every blog should have a weekly frivolity of some kind, right? Since I don’t live at home, I can’t post pictures of my cat, so I think posting extremely nerdy (but clean!) limericks each week or so will be a fun way to express my geekiness as well as keep up my posting frequency.
