Only it was that easy…

Be a man and stick to beer and burgers, will ya.

You know the times are bad when everyone rejoices at less-than-terrible news:

I wonder if physical sciences did beter than biomed because they said they were about to figure out black holes...

Right. And now Steven Hawking says black holes are BS:

I'm trying to come up with  good analogous example from biology. Please help me.

A good read even if for a sad occasion:

    Weekly sciencey bits

    Disclaimer: This started as a "weekend reading list" meant to encourage students in the lab to think about science and their own future in it. Do not take it seriously: I myself may no longer agree with whatever I wrote here last week.
