Reality is always more complicated than you think.

Profile

jake-head-shot.jpgJake 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.

Comment Policy

I like our comments like I like our constructive criticism: constructive. Take home message is that I have a very simple comment policy: don’t be a dick. Violate this policy, and I will ruthlessly expunge your comment and possibly subject you and it to public ridicule. I like that blogs participate in the great conversation; I just prefer that the conversation not degenerate into a shouting match.


Email Policy

See comment policy. Also, I reserve the right to share whatever you send us with everyone else, particularly if you are hot and it is pictures of yourself. Jake can be reached at jamesjyoung [at] gmail [dot] com. Kara can be reached at kcontreary [at] gmail [dot] com.
