Now on ScienceBlogs: Unitary mindfulness in collective action
A tangenital mix of blogliness, studying the effects of time, change, and chaos
A student in Colorado, looking for some sort of synthesis--the big picture, encompassing all the strangeness in the universe--but willing to settle for the philosophic or poetic lens.

I had plans to write about beavers this week... but this (coincidentally?) came up instead. ScienceBlogs has gone a-buzz over bikini waxing, since Tara wrote about a young woman who suffered painful complications and infections after a "Brazilian" wax.
