Banner!

By tsmith on April 19, 2006.

(I was planning on mentioning this yesterday, but hadn't heard yet about exactly how the author--Ciryaquen--wanted credited.)

As you can see, the new banner's up. I just wanted to thank everyone for the entries--it was a tough choice; there are a bunch of talented people out there, and I really appreciate all the submissions. I'm putting the image info after the fold for posterity.

One more "programming note:" If you scroll over to the bottom of the left-hand column, you'll find that you can now subscribe via email. Just in case there's anyone out there who's interested, the option's there.

From science research to science teaching: how to pay for a change

When I was a post-doc, I spent a few months seriously thinking about changing careers and teaching high school. I might have followed through on that plan, too, but I didn't know how to pay for it. Today, if you have a background in science, technology, math, or engineering, you can retrain to…

Consolidating Aard's Subscriber Base on Google Reader

Google Reader is an excellent blog reader, among whose strengths is that it resides somewhere off your computer. This means that you can read blogs from several machines without having to mark a lot of old entries as read. Nor do you have to subscribe to the same feed more than once. Looking at…

Cool that we now can get posts per e-mail. Now, if we could just get the old Pharyngula functionality of getting replies to comments per email as well.....

Tara, I'm enjoy the blog, and notice at least 50 others are subscribed through Bloglines. It would be particularly helpful for those of us with terribly slow internet connections if you could syndicate your entire posts instead of just fragments. Granted, it would throw your counter a bit, but would also get us reading more of every post. Yes, having to click on a link is a barrier to reading, when it will take 2 minutes to load!

Cheers,

As several others have already noted, after almost 12 years, Scienceblogs is shutting down at month's end.

The high cost of academic reimbursement

September 29, 2017

Spring, 2004. I was in the second year of my post-doc, with kids ages 4 and 2. Because I was no longer a student, the full brunt of my student loan payments had hit me, which were collectively almost double the cost of my mortgage. To put it generously, money was tight. Truthfully, we were broke as…

Is there such a thing as an "evolution-proof" drug? (part the third)

May 31, 2017

A claim that scientists need to quit making: I've written about these types of claims before. The first one--a claim that antimicrobial peptides were essentially "resistance proof," was proven to be embarrassingly wrong in a laboratory test. Resistance not only evolved, but it evolved…
