Omni Brain
An exploration of the serious/fun/ridiculous - past/present/future of the brain and the science that loves it.
The Homunculus
The Omnibrain 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, The Omnibrain is a real graduate student at a real school somewhere in the continental United States - or maybe Europe.

About
Omni Brain is blogged by Someone, who is a psychology Ph.D. student of Psychology (not the kind that actually helps people though).
The Omnibrain writes about the silly, sublime and serious infiltration of the brain sciences into popular culture. Topics range from commentary on research and public policy to absolutely off the wall things like how to create a realistic edible gelatin brain (vodka optional).
Sandra Kiume co-blogged here for a long time; notice her name on the byline in archived posts. You can still email her about those posts, other blogging, future projects, etc. Here's contact info for her.
