Profile
The Evil Monkey has a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from a southeastern university. After a postdoctoral nightmare of Inquisitorial proportions, he is currently working in a laboratory and teaching at a local community college. He is still not sure why he wrote this paragraph in the third person, and for that reason is beginning to doubt his sanity. How many freakin' people can fit into his head, anyway? No wait, my head. Oh crap.
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, which takes up a lot of her free time. She sees nothing wrong with talking about herself in the third person, and wonders why Evil Monkey is so freaked out about it.

Friday Weird Science:
This SHOULD be the time when I'm working crazy hard on InAdWriMo, trying to get those paper drafts up and running (ideally they should be ready on MONDAY). Perhaps I should have been doing that rather than writing a 3,000...

I actually had another piece in mind for this Friday's Weird Science, but a friend of mine sent me a link to this paper, and I HAD to do it. It's not just weird, it's awesome! Long, Fee. "Using temperature...

Or perhaps I should call this "Friday Weird Science...NOT!" Seriously, I'm pissed. Because when Scicurious sees a headline like this: The Stink in Farts Controls Blood Pressure she thinks "SWEET! This will be awesome!" and starts hunting around for the...

*stands up bravely* Hi, my name is Scicurious, and I'm a...caffeine addict. Well, currently I'm a recovering caffeine addict. I used to drink about 6 cups of coffee a day. The big travel mug size. I was even in a...

Does anyone else find "priapism" a horrifically difficult thing to pronouce? This may partially be because it's so...entertaining. Well, ok, it's entertaining for me. I imagine it leaves most guys wincing. Tran et al. "Priapism, ecstasy, and marijuana: is there...

I actually heard about this paper from the glorious Dr. Isis, who covered it a few weeks ago with her usual panache and sparkles. Since I read her post, I've been itching to get my hands on this paper,...

I think the best part about this weird Friday is that I don't have to write it! A good thing too, I have a life outside the blog (crazy, I know), and that life has been nothing short of...

I'm starting to think it must be a LOT of fun to be the editor of the Journal of Medical Hypotheses. First there was the one about groaning and hyperventilation decreasing blood to the cortex and enhancing the sexual...
