I wrote a 35 page academic paper not in my field, a 15 page thing also not in my field, and finished a 25 page academic paper in my field this month. Because you know what I do when I have free time? Find things to use up my free time. Scene of the Climb …

Books, April 2017
The end of the quarter is ramping up which means I don't get to read for fun as much. Mostly worth it. Mostly. Annihilation, Jeff VanderMeer Our characters are an expedition investigating a mysterious supernatural/environmental event. They think they're in a mystery, or maybe an adventure. They're not. They're in horror. (Because I'm slow this …

Hi world. I have a million things going on this month, so ACTUAL short reviews for once.

It’s 2017, where’s my cyborg?

I'm sorry we missed you there (unless you came, in which case thanks for finding my website!) but you can still check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVOYpDWT8Qk and …
Do droids feel pain?
One of my favorite parts of my existence as a scientist is the wild range of questions people ask me. My favorites include "how do I know when I have to pee?" (asked by a ~2 year old, to his parents' mortification) and "if zombies are a nervous system virus, then what are vampires?" Today: …
Books of the Month, January 2017
I accidentally read only books by ladies this month, and I am quite pleased. Also this month: the introduction of the new genre system. As I have perpetually complained, I have not yet hit upon a genre categorization system that I am totally happy with. I'm going to experiment this year with the Writing Excuses …
