I'm not too impressed with the curriculum, but heck, they've got a great mascot, so I'm sure students will apply.

Osama Bin Laden is dead. At least, that's what we've been told, and I tend to believe such things.
But how do they know it's him? Well, they have the visual evidence and the body, for one. But to be certain it's not a look-a-like, the government has taken steps above and beyond to make sure they've…
Johan Larson asks:
How would you change the requirements and coursework for the undergraduate Physics major?
This is a good one, but it's a little tough to answer. I have ideas about things I'd like to change locally, but I'm not sure I really have the perspective I would need to be able to say…
If you didn't already know because, by chance, you missed my tweets, posts, and facebook updates, there is a science blogging contest going on RIGHT NOW. The 3 Quarks Daily Science Blogging Prize is currently narrowing down the top 20 posts from 87 nominees. To get through the gauntlet, a post has…
One of the big issues in science education is the topic of science standards: each state is supposed to have guidelines for the public school curriculum, which are intended to enforce some uniformity and also make sure that key subjects are covered. These standards are often accompanied by big…
Wow, just in time, we needed a new source for presidential appointees.
Frankly, the academics look to be on a par with Dallas's Institute for Creation Research, which is halfway home to being able to grant master's degrees in creationism. I've got more details, and descriptions of some of the graduate level biology courses, here: http://preview.tinyurl.com/22tua4

Dude! We graduated from Ninja Tech!
I prefer Miskatonic University [1]. They have damned and mad faculty members, one of the oldest translated copies of the Necronomicon, Necrotelicomnicon and Necronomilolikon. A very active doomsday cultist club and their football team has the coolest mascot ever. Oh, and they research the unresearchable incomprehensible unfathomable abhorrent horrors of beyond, which is pretty impressive.

Best college motto ever!
I really wish I believed in hell. Whoever is responsible for that painfully cheesy MIDI rendition of the fight song desperately needs to burn.
Well, shoot! Yesterday we learned my daughter had been accepted to Yale... but now she wants to go to BSU instead and major in Illicit Activities.
Well, who am I to judge, eh? Were any of you able to find a financial aid link at the BSU site?
I was always more of a Silver Surfer kind of girl myself until Batman got that audacious codpiece via Val Kilmer. Since then, its Batman, Batman, Batman.
The university I went to was so apathetic they couldn't be arsed having a mascot, instead preferring to have the elected student president turn up to the annual Rugby match by jumping out a helicopter, naked, every year.. True story folks.
It's no Adams College or Mars University, but I've always had an interest in Penmanship.
Having just geeked myself out on a glut of Doctor Who, it appears to me that the Webmaster of the University must watch a lot of BBCA. It's the only other place I've seen mention of mesothelioma.
