Now on ScienceBlogs: Conference blogging: icons for presenters [Genetic Future]
Stronger. Faster. Bloggier. Now chock full of glial goodness. **Warning** contains neuro-nuts.
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 and Pharmacology at a southern institution. She is a nerd, a geek, and also a dork. And yes, that really is her brain.
NotoriousLTP is an MD-PhD student in New York City. After finishing (hopefully soon) his PhD in behavioral neuroscience, he will re-enter the fun vortex that is medical education.

Finally, Scientiae is up! It's Sci's first time submitting to the carnival, and I'm very glad that I got in. It's a big one, too, a two part experiment from Endless Possibilities. I highly recommend, especially the ones from The...

Why should I try? Why should I bother with all this red tape and knowing the right people and being nice to them in the right way and making sure you phrase things JUST SO? Why shouldn't I do something else?

Since I posted a while ago on "why I am a scientist", I've been thinking of what makes a scientist. This has been partially inspired by a post that Laelaps wrote a while ago, on whether to consider himself a...
