Synthetic Biologist Karmella Haynes

By cagapakis on February 8, 2010.

Teachers' Domain, a digital media resource for teachers, profiled Karmella Haynes, one of my amazing labmates!

There's a fun video of Karmella talking about her work on synthetic biology devices to track cancer cells and about careers in science streaming on the Teachers' Domain website. You should all check it out, she's an incredible scientist, artist, and teacher--a true inspiration!

A Clarification on Skull Measuring

June 10, 2011

I got a long email from one of the authors of the skull measuring study and I want to make some clarifications to my previous post. It seems that I was not as clear and thorough as I could have been in my argument. First, my sincere apologies to all physical anthropologists and other researchers…

Missing the Point

June 9, 2011

It's not every day that you read about measuring skulls in the contemporary scientific literature. It's kind of a quaintly old-timey, quaintly racist kind of thing to do. But here we are, with a brand new paper about skull measuring in PLoS Biology. Already quite a few blog-words have been…
