Encephalon is up at Mind Hacks! Check it out, there's some very cool stuff, including stuff on childhood amnesia, Long term potentiation (a HUGE deal in a neuroscience now), and three awesome posts from The Mouse Trap on maturity and consciousness. There's also a really cool post from Neurophilosophy on erasing memories.
And there's a new site up! And it comes recommended with the Sciencewomen seal of approval (tm). It's called Under the Microscope, and is all about encouraging women in science. I am all for this. Everyone should encourage me in science! I need all the help I can get. And the other ladies, too, of course.
And much as I don' wanna work, it appears I have no choice. Back to life in the lab coupled with my grinding poverty.

The Evil Monkey has a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from a southeastern U.S. university. After a postdoctoral nightmare of Inquisitorial proportions, he is currently working in a laboratory and an adjunct assistant professor at a nearby state university.
Scicurious is a graduate student wrestling with a PhD in Physiology at a southern institution. She is a nerd, a geek, and also a dork. And yes, that really is her brain.
