The Corpus Callosum

The Corpus Callosum is an occasional journal of armchair musings, by a suburban, reality-based, slightly-left-of-center guy, who reserves the right to be highly irregular at times. Topics: social commentary, neuroscience, politics, science news. Mission: to develop connections between hard science and social science, using linear thinking and intuition; and to explore the relative merits of spontaneity vs. strategy.

Wisdom Teeth

Everyone's anatomy has little quirks.  One of mine, is the length of the roots of my wisdom teeth.  They go down halfway to Sulawesi.   When I was in college, I had to have two of them extracted.  The oral...

Category: Armchair Musings

I wasn't sure whether to put the quotes around "Ruthlessness Gene," or "Discovered."  I suppose I could have just left them out entirely, but I have this urge to spice things up a bit with punctuation marks.  Don't blame me...it's...

Category: Public Health

More than 90,000 u.s. infants are victims of abuse or neglect.  My question: what is Michael Chertoff gong to do about it?   Homeland security begins at home.  Nothing new there.  It was true before 9/11, and it is true...
