Now on ScienceBlogs: Publishers Weekly Cover Girl: Rebecca Skloot and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (HeLa)
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.

I am leaving for the weekend, so I haven't had much time to blog. In lieu of actual science, I leave you with the following YouTube videos of amateur science rappers. (There are a bagillion of these on YouTube, most of them bad...but these ones are fun.)
On Physics:
On Mitosis:
I have only one comment: In any just universe, there would be underwear on the stage at the end of each of these performances.
Hot.

For some reason, while watching the first video, the name David Brent came popping up in my head over and over again.
