On science, careers, and life. Jul 02 2015 Published by peirama. I have a few thoughts that I have not seen discussed in the whole Tim Hunt storm. In case you have not been keeping up, you can read here. A first hand account of Nobel Laureate Tim Hunt’s comments at a lunch at the World Conference of Science Journalism by the journalist who broke the story. Basically he said that women (actually, he said girls – how often do you hear grown men referred to as boys? So, differences = good. But people tend t...

Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition. -Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, 1776. Monthly Archives: September 2011. The problem with open science. September 12, 2011. So I went to this talk on Thursday about open science by Michael Nielsen.

Understanding materials science and engineering from the trenches of graduate school. Tuesday, November 4, 2014. So I've learned some things about how Microsoft Word's word count tool works, and may wind up re-adjusting my goals. For example, it counts every entry in a table of numbers. It also deals very oddly with symbols and equations. Ch 2 - 1,943. Ch 3 - 1,480. Ch 4 - 873. Ch 5 - 41. Paper 1 (Ch. 1) - 5,504. Paper 2 (Ch. 3) - 1,102. Paper 3 (Ch. 3) - 1,635. Paper 5 (Ch. 4) - 1,222. Life As An Outlier.
