The Method of Science?
First, it is a complete pleasure to be stealing this moment to write for such an awesome site. My hat is off to Rebecca and this great space on the crazy net. I only wish I had more time right now.  Some of you who know me know that I have 3 kids, two jobs, school, and lots of laundry.…

The Hot Sauce Diet?
I’m used to reading about crazy fad diets. They’ve been around for years, and there’s a slew of popular ones these days: the Atkins Diet, the Zone Diet, the South Beach Diet and so forth. We’re all familair with them. Fad diets are always somewhat ridiculous, but I think the Hot Sauce Diet takes the cake. Or, at least, pours…

Boston: Where the Biomed Industry Comes to Play.
My fair city is currently playing host to the biomedical industry’s biggest bash of the year, leaving us up to our ears in scientists, lawyers, pharmaceutical reps, accountants, and any corporate type who rakes in the dough by researching areas of medicine such as stem cell or gene therapy. It’s been sold to the rest of us Bostonians as “the…

Why yes, that did hit a nerve.
I have a very long commute. In the mornings, I spend about an hour and a half on trains and buses, offering lots of time for reading, completing puzzles, and just decompressing, so I don’t really mind. This morning I picked up one free daily paper at my subway stop and did all three sudokus and then the crossword, and…

A pregnant pause.
An aquaintance of mine is currently preggers. The baby is due in just a few weeks and appears to be adamant in his insistence that he be born ass-first, so like any good soon-to-be mother, my friend has explored the options available to her. The only trouble is that there don’t appear to be many options out there. The most…
