Junk and not so junk

9/28/2011

Among the numerous email lists that I have inadvertently signed up for (including several for focused organ enhancement and proclamations of my ancestors' enormous wealth), there is one that I really like http://www.connexoncreative.com/publications/Neural_Cell_News.aspx

I don't know how or why I get monthly updates in my email from "Neural Cell News", but curiously, there are always things in their list that interest me. Even though I must say their heading "Neural cell news" is annoying, because if you say 'neural', then you don't really have to say 'cell', because a neuron is a cell, and will always be one...but I digress. Sign up recommended if you are into neuroscience.

Also annoying is how they list stories by their impact factor. Thankfully this is at the bottom of the page, after the main stories, so can be easily ignored.

The PI Blog

This blog exists because my wife seemed a bit tired of being the only recipient of my random pontifications on life and Science for many years; and gently encouraged me to vent in a blog instead. From time to time, I put down thoughts that occur to me as I naiively stumble through a life in Science - bestowed upon me by accident (literally!). Please keep in mind that these musings are rather obvious things of little or no use to anyone, and are certainly not personally targeted in any way, even though they are obviously derived from my experiences. OK, enough said.
