I’m over at Neurotic Physiology today, asking about the new normal. Everything that’s been happening the last week has shaken our faith in who we are, what we thought we had...

Please Welcome Guest Post , from my old stomping grounds at U Penn, Caleph Wilson! Diversity has become a watchword in the scientific community.
Guest Post 5: Accommodasians don’t make waves.
Please welcome our fifth guest post, from AmasianV!

Guest Post 4! Don’t Just Assume You Should Know: How To Be An Excellent Mentor

Guest Post 1: In the end, let’s make sure something good comes out.

Standing with DNLee5: Let’s Get Voices Heard
If you’ve been on the Scientific American network at all over the past weekend, or on twitter for that matter, you can’t have missed all that’s been going on.
Friday Weird Science: Oral Sex Gets Fishy
