The Ig Nobel Prizes | idiosynchrony

https://idiosynchrony.wordpress.com/2008/02/13/the-ig-nobel-prizes

Thoughts on science, writing, and science writing. The Ig Nobel Prizes. February 13, 2008 in Uncategorized. I must admit that I did not realize, when I wrote a few months ago. About calculating the surface area of an elephant, that the esteemed authors of that study had received an Ig Nobel Prize. In 2002 for their work. A hearty belated congratulations to you, K.P. Sreekumar and G. Nirmalan! Other notable Ig Nobel-worthy research achievements over the years include:. LITERATURE: Daniel Oppenheimer of Pr...

Thoughts on science, writing, and science writing. When a ceiling full of glow-in-the-dark stars isn’t enough. December 15, 2007 in art. Like penicillin, it all started with an accident. The sperm glowed. He had a full-on fluorescent green mouse. Left: Fluorescent red cancer cells lined with the fluorescent green blood vessels of a fluorescent green mouse. Right: Fluorescent red tumor in a fluorescent green mouse. Both images from here. Below the fold: glowing fishies, bunnies, and kitties…. Artist reque...

Thoughts on science, writing, and science writing. We’ll be back, after a brief message from our sponsors. March 28, 2008 in Uncategorized. This blog is on temporary hiatus while I purchase my first home and haul myself, my husband, and our four cats halfway across the country to move into it. Astute readers may note that it has already been on de facto. Hiatus for some time. It’s a time of hectic transitions, what can I say? A Blog Around The Clock.

The Butterfly Clock | idiosynchrony

https://idiosynchrony.wordpress.com/2008/01/08/the-butterfly-clock

Thoughts on science, writing, and science writing. January 8, 2008 in biology. Steve Reppert at UMass Medical School in Worcester has just come out today with two very exciting new papers on the circadian clock of the monarch butterfly. They’re both published through PLoS so they’re free for the looking online. Check them out here. Because the fruit fly and the monarch are close evolutionary relatives, they share many of the same genes. Reppert’s group had already found that each of the genes encodin...

A half-wet elephant (and its surface area) | idiosynchrony

https://idiosynchrony.wordpress.com/2007/11/15/a-half-wet-elephant

Thoughts on science, writing, and science writing. A half-wet elephant (and its surface area). November 15, 2007 in biology. I’m too lazy to write a useful new post because I just spent 3 hours going through a messy divorce with iWeb and moving all my furniture and possessions to the house of my rebound boyfriend, WordPress. So here, instead, is a half-wet elephant. Or maybe it’s two-thirds wet. Wait, are we talking volume or surface area? What’s the surface area of an elephant, anyway? 8245 6.807 H.

Thoughts on science, writing, and science writing. The Oscars should consider this tactic. February 19, 2008 in Uncategorized. Aside from the science writers’ shindig at Fenway Park, I’d have to say the highlight of AAAS. Was indeed the presentation by the Annals of Improbable Research. We heard a speech from the inventor of Clocky. But it wasn’t my fault, I swear — I was quoting a source! We also sampled the Ig-Nobel-inspired Toscanini’s. For the discovery of a method to extract vanillin from cow dung.
