Jake Young is a MD/PhD student at Mount Sinai School of Medicine focusing in Neuroscience. He is due to graduate in 2032. He received a BS and a MS in Biological Sciences from Stanford University -- where he spent most of his time drinking heavily and building vegetable catapults instead of learning information that would now be eminently useful. When he is not failing terrifically to perform his sworn duties, he enjoys watching bad movies, ethnic food, and running.
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.
Jake is joined periodically by two wonderful guest bloggers: Kara Contreary and Kate Seip. See the About Page.

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.)
