Science Procastination Reading (July 15/2006)

Category: Links to Other Conversations and Articles
Posted on: July 15, 2006 2:48 PM, by David Ng

Quick and fast today.

Pavlov's Brother by Andy Borowitz
Here's a great piece from the New Yorker - I hear it's a pretty good place to present your work.

Conversations with my mother which suggest she may secretly be a primatologist by Kevin Zeidler
When John referred me to Yankee Pot Roast, I essentially realized how many other great sites existed where literary humour is the game that is played. Anyway, YPR is also good for many hours of procastination.

Electron Band Structure In Germanium, My Ass by Lucas Kovar
Ah yes, science is tough. I believe this was a classic in graduate student work in its day. I can see a great powerpoint presentation coming out of this.

Butterfly by Chris Ware.
This little comic is great and one of my favourites at the SCQ. Plus, he was nice enough to let us use it, which was wonderful for our (then) little publication. I'm sure he hears it a lot, but he's a genius. Ben and I were even daydreaming at one point about whether he'd go for designing a banner for us. Maybe one day, maybe one day.
