Profile

jake-head-shot.jpgJake 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.

ScienceBlogger Meetup: August 9th

Category: Blogging
Posted on: July 22, 2008 10:47 AM, by NotoriousLTP

Have you ever said any of the following?

  • 1) That Jake fellah (or other ScienceBlogger) has insightful things to say. By Heaven, I would like to meet him and discuss said insights.
  • 2) That Jake fellah (or other ScienceBlogger) is one sexy mama. I am aroused by the possibility of discussing science with him in person.
  • 3) That Jake fellah (or other ScienceBlogger) is a big fat jerk. I sure would like to meet him so I can punch him in the snoot.

If the answer is "yes" to any of those statements, you are in luck. SEED magazine will be hosting a ScienceBlogger meetup in New York on August 9th at ~3 in the afternoon. (Location details to follow.) I have been assured of the presence of snacks and swag. Those bloggers located near the NY area will likely attend including yours truly.

What we would like to get some tentative sense of how many people are interested. If you would like to come leave your name (pseudonyms are fine...we just need a count) in the comments. You can also email me at jamesjyoung <> gmail.

Thank you, and I look forward to meeting those of you who can make it.
