Important Announcement: Pure Pedantry Takes a Co-Blogger! : Pure Pedantry

Reality is always more complicated than you think.

Profile

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.

DISCLAIMERS: 1) Jake Young is not a licensed physician (yet). He is merely a medical student. The information published on this site is not intended for use in medical decision-making. Please seek advice from a licensed, medical professional before making any health decisions. 2) The opinions expressed are my own.

Important Announcement: Pure Pedantry Takes a Co-Blogger!

Posted on: December 4, 2006 8:52 PM, by NotoriousLTP

So I have a spectacular announcement. Very soon this blog will be taking on a co-blogger, the lovely and wonderful Kara Contreary. Kara Contreary is currently a Economics PhD student at the London School of Economics. I am excited that she is willing to join me, and I think that an economist-in-training will bring a valuable new perspective to ScienceBlogs.com.

(We debated whether economics can be considered a science. Whether you believe that it can, a lot of stuff we talk about here has economic implications that frankly I am utterly unqualified to talk about.)

In any case, as I prepare to welcome Kara I will be making some changes to the site. Please pardon our dust in the meantime. You will be able to find out more about her when she gets her profile up and starts posting.
