Profile

me%20and%20pep.jpg Shelley Batts is a Neuroscience PhD candidate at the University of Michigan. She studies hair cell regeneration in the cochlea, and is just embarking on that quixotic quest called 'thesis.' She lies awake at night pondering how science intersects with politics, culture, policy, money, medicine, and religion in an attempt to be more than just a niche scientist sitting in the oh-so-lovely ivory tower. Follow me and my parrot on the quest to get funded, get a PhD, and stay sane.

Blog Hiatus Until March 1st

Category: Announcements
Posted on: February 10, 2008 5:44 PM, by Shelley Batts

As you all know, Steve and I are merging blogs into the aptly-named 'Of Two Minds' blog. We're going live on March 1st, and since we have a lot of work to do to get it ready and pretty (new banners in the works!) I decided to go on blogging hiatus here a few weeks early. Plus, I'm heading to Phoenix next week to present research at the Association for Research in Otolaryngology meeting and will be there a week. So, the timing seemed right. Don't worry, I'll be posting a reminder as March 1st gets close so you can all update your links and join me at the new digs with Steve.

Until then, check out my friend's new music blog here. I've been encouraging him for months to start a blog because, well, I trust his music taste more than most music critics. I'm always on the look out for new bands and interesting music, and he consistently has wowed me with his mix CDs and recommendations. Check it out!

You could have timed that trip to Phoenix better - Spring Training gets into full swing in a couple more weeks!

Enjoy, thanks for the link, we'll see you on the other side.

You support an organization which excluded Ron Paul from speaking. This in itself is against science at it's core.
Science is the search for truth. All science must include all circumstance. No ommission or fact or possible fact.
If by your own action you create an outcome then your science is flawed.
You know this!!!!!
Let Dr. and I repeat DOCTOR Ron Paul speak. You may not agree with him, but science seeks truth and required all the facts to make a decision. Otherwise you live in belief and religion and not fact.
Look to your own for the problem and see your error of observation. You call yourself a scientist? hmmmmmmmmm

I hope you find your funding for college. I hope you also understand that I don't want to be the one who pays for it. I could not afford college for myself and did manage to put three kids through. Ponder that in your quixotic quest. I'm self taught and read. Completely free of State support in my life. Give it a try. Be a true citizen and just work hard.

�..it does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority to set brush fires in people�s minds.�
� Samuel Adams
�With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed. Consequently he who molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions.� � Abraham Lincoln
�During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.� � George Orwell
�The state can�t give you free speech, and the state can�t take it away. You�re born with it, like your eyes, like your ears. Freedom is something you assume, then you wait for someone to try to take it away. The degree to which you resist is the degree to which you are free��
� Utah Phillips
