The Minds

Shelley Batts is a Neuroscience PhD candidate at the University of Michigan. She studies hair cell regeneration in the cochlea, and is trying to finish 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, Pepper, on our quest to finish my PhD, land a post-doc, and stay sane.

Steve Higgins is a psychology graduate student at an online university. He hopes that the three weeks and $29.95 that he is spending on his Ph.D. will get him a job at a Tier 1 research university. Do online universities have postdocs? Ok...just kidding, Steve is really a Ph.D. Candidate in Psychology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign studying high level vision. You know... stuff like scene & object perception.

While not an official contributer to 'Of Two Minds,' Shelley's sidekick is an African Grey parrot named Pepper. His heros are Irene Pepperberg, Alex, and Rachel Carson. He spends his time learning Mandarin and writing the Great American novel.
"Those who dwell, as scientists or laymen, among the beauties and mysteries of the earth, are never alone or weary of life." ~Rachel Carson

Are you concerned that you are just sleeping with waaaay too many people? Do you want to avoid getting STD's? Do your neighbors give you dirty looks in every morning when a new person comes waltzing out of your apartment? Just place this wonderful pez like condom dispenser on your nightstand table. Not only will it ensure that you have safer sex - it will ensure that you have NO sex. When your prospective partner see's it they will realize that you probably carry many many diseases that they simply do not want.

But hey... it's only 28$ I'm not sure how you can afford to NOT get one!

Always good to promote an attitude that discourages condom use. Hooray for teen pregnancy!

really?! I'm not making fun of people having condoms in their bedside drawer. I'm making fun of the fact that they have a dispenser next to their bed advertising the fact.

I work in public health. I find this device incredibly amusing and would want one for my office.

now that makes sense!

Plenty of people in steady relationships use condoms too. Why not keep them in a stylish dispenser on your bedside table, rather than a plastic bag under the bed, or buried in a drawer somewhere?

Wow, just wow. Now if you filled it with these condoms, you could probably have no sex 10-15 times an hour.

I would totally buy that! And I'd put it on my desk at work. I bet it would disense those little flat Ghiradelli chocolates just fine. Fun for everyone!
