Jen tweeted this yesterday and since it’s so very cool, I had to share it!
Me, doing the gang sign for “pi,” in honour of World Maths Day. You did know that today was World Maths Day, right? I knew about this important occasion because I downloaded the Nerdidays Calendar from Dr. Dan’s website. Because days like World Maths Day are just too important to miss! So, what did you […]
When people ask me what my blog is about, I usually say, “It’s about everything except work.” Well, today I’m breaking that rule ((I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: It’s my blog and I’ll prevaricate if I want to.)) because I just *have* to show you this: Yesterday I went to an […]
Three days ago, Darren pointed out this site to me: Dissertation Haiku. On this site, people write a single haiku that summarizes their PhD dissertation. Since then, I’ve been trying to write a haiku to summarize my dissertation and failing miserably. As it turns out, I suck at haikus. So I did what any self-respecting […]
There’s a building that I often have to go to for meetings at work and in this building there is a room that, though I’ve never had a meeting in it, always catches my eye when I walk by. The Warew Room ((In case you are wondering why I felt the need to point to […]

Oh yes, today’s blog posting title is homage to yesterday’s blog posting title. It’s true, I really did that. Now, “what the hell are you talking about, Beth?” is probably what you are thinking right now. What I am talking about, gentle readers, is the new blog of one Dr. Dan, who you know as […]
Finally, my love/hate of lab work and my love of Lady Gaga have been merged together into pure awesomeness: I think the best part is that her costumes are made out of lab supplies! Props to Dave, my friend and co-blogger over on my science nerd blog, who brought this awesomeness to my attention!
Now, I’m sure I’m not the first person to say this and I won’t be the last, but holy crap DHL Express is the crappiest delivery company ever. You see, Kalev bought me some birthday presents from ThinkGeek and had them shipped to me. Or at least, he tried to have them shipped to me. […]
