Now on ScienceBlogs: Oh, no! School wi-fi is making our kids sick! (2012 edition)
Jake Young is a MD/PhD student at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in NYC getting a PhD in Behavioral Neuroscience. He holds a BS and MS in Biological Sciences from Stanford University. If a volcano were to erupt Pompei-style in Central Park, his body would be preserved in a scoliotic posture over his lab desk. Archeaologists would later conclude that he spent most of his day training rats to perform tricks, until he went blind building electrical equipment by hand using a dissecting microscope. But, still, he died happy...because science is cool.
Pure Pedantry is a blog about science -- social sciences and otherwise -- as well as academic and scientific culture. No one can live on science alone, so I also like to dwell on pop culture, periodically explore the humanities, and indulge in other types of geeky goodness.

OmniBrain has a funny post on the secret of antigravity.
The Neurophilosopher has a interesting post on how neuropathic pain could be treated with menthol, which activates cold receptors.
The American Scientist Online publishes an interview with Marc Hauser on his model of an inborn moral system. Sounds suspiciously like repackaged Kant to me, but worth the read. (Hat-tip: Thinking Meat.)
