Now on ScienceBlogs: An Experiment in Teaching Writing: A Look Inside the Sausage Factory
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.

This Panda is not yet cute. It is in many ways precute. (It sort of looks like a fuzzy potato.)
In all its not-yet-cuteness, this baby Panda was born in the Atlanta Zoo to the proud Lun Lun. We can be confident that if biology takes its course, someday it will be cute -- allowing for swooning press coverage to ensue.
(Suck on that post, Cute Overload. I know your traffic regularly crushes us, but someday, SOMEDAY!!! we will defeat you.)
