The Homunculus

steveSteve Higgins is a psychology graduate student at an online university. He hopes that the three weeks and $29.95 that he is spending on his Ph.D. will get him a job at a Tier 1 research university. Do online universities have postdocs? Ok...just kidding, Steve is a real graduate student at a real school.

Brain Tiles for Baby

katelyn_sack.JPG Artist Katelyn Sack emailed me earlier to clarify some info. She shares truth:

The post you link to incorrectly states the series is composed of fridge magnets. While I can make prints, magnets, T-shirts, and even baby bubbles featuring any of my artwork, 'Baby, Be A Brain Surgeon!' as featured on The Science Creative Quarterly this Tues., Sept. 11 is oil paint on 4.25" x 4.25" ceramic tiles. You can see my original blog post on the artwork here, and I also list it for sale on my website here.

BabybeaBrainSurgeon.jpg In her original post, she describes the vision behind her designs. Nursery room decor for a doctor very early in training, the tiles are to be mounted on walls around the baby's cradle.

Training your very own brain surgeon must begin early. The ABCs of neurology should be imbibed with the sunlight of baby's first room.

Baby, Be A Brain Surgeon!

A is for Amygdala

B is for Brainstem

C is for Cerebellum

B is for Backups
C is for Central Processing Unit
D is for Database (MySQL)
E is for electron
F is for Filesystem
G is for Gigabyte
H is for Help Menu
I is for Inode
J is for Jump (Or Jump Not Zero)
K is for Kilobyte
L is for Linux
M is for mv
N is for network
O is for Open Source
P is for Program
Q is for Queue
R is for rm
S is for system
T is for tmp
U is for Unix
V is for Verify
W is for Windows
X is for Xenix
Y is for yank
Z is for gzip

I dunno, that's more systems than anything but best I could come up with on short notice.
