Someone please get this book for me.
I’ve knit somewhere between 5 - 10 scarves in the last few years. One way too big that I use...

Hey, remember when I made jalapeño poppers yesterday? Here’s how that turned out!

redneckwithguns asked: As a college student working towards his BS in Cell Biology (with dreams of med school!) what would your advice be to those of us that are terrible at looking up research articles? I can describe Sanger-Coulson sequencing or the isolation of mature mRNA in my sleep but trying to find research articles relevant to what is being worked on in lab (which is one of my assignments this semester for molecular biology) is like asking me to get blood from a stone. Help :(
It’s tough to keep up with research publications these days. Even for experienced scientists. As of today, PubMed (the NIH peer-review database) lists
This is m’homework (excluding laundry, obviously). I have a lot of homework. I have poor time management skills. I was all set to organise my weekend into blocks of work/study time, and then POW! Complete exhaustion. I’m so pooped for no apparent reason other than the fact this is what happens starting at least a week before the awfulness that is having a uterus.
I have a quiz and pre-lab due during biology on Tuesday, a Hangul quiz on Wednesday, and a math exam on Friday.
I’m one of those people who gets overwhelmed by what she has to do, so she doesn’t do any of it. Hi. We are going to nap and do an all-nighter. Yay.
You guys. This is my dress. I saw it in a group photo months ago and since then, I’ve been so. sad.
I figured it must have been sold, ‘cause it’s so freaking great. Pink! Chantilly lace! Accordion tulle! 26 inch waist (which will give me breathing room)! Sleeves! It’s prefect, guys. Why can’t we sell our plasma in Canada?!
Oh yeah, and it’s in Portland. So. Close.
Two pretty days in a row!

Life. Biology, actually.
My professor is.. not much for professoring. She is a very nice lady, but she is completely incompetent and scatter-brained. Under no circumstances should she be a professor - in fact, several students have reported her to the dean (one of whom received a 64 on a final exam - instead of their B - by mistake).
School is a major source of stress for me. I worry so much that my chest hurts. I have a 4.0 right now, and this class is going to ruin it. No, grades aren’t everything, but they are fairly important. I don’t want my grades ruined because my professor is incompetent, and/or because the group of SEVEN PEOPLE that I have been forced to work with in lab cannot communicate. There are a couple good folks, but overall, we’re no good.
I have bitch face for a reason, guys. I will pull out the bitch face for reals.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyg7c6feOE1qz6k37o1_500.jpg)

This is Louis, the neighbour’s cat. He comes over and sleeps on the bed for hours. Yes, his face is always squintier on one side than the other.
And I almost wrote “Laemeuf” again. Oy.
Adam made me a Louis! Louis is currently sleeping on my bag o’ yarn.
DNA hat progress.
I have no idea how I want to begin decreases, or when. I also just knit the wrong row of the chart, so now my brain is all “well, screw knitting that for a while”.
You guys, epigenetics is really neat stuff; it’s one of the reasons I’m so interested in genetics. What your grandparents eat, how they live, where they live, all that stuff.. it all has an effect on your parents, you, your kids, the kids of your kids.
The stuff Hank touches on in this short video is explained in more detail (fascinating detail!) in The Ghost in Your Genes, which has the added bonus of a scientist who is so happy about his research that he cries.
Watch The Ghost in Your Genes here, read about it here. Wiki article on epigenetics.

Snow day!
We got a couple inches of snow. We just need a few more to get a snow day! And to shut the city down.
Louis does not care about personal space.
Takin’ pictures of homework instead if doing it. Wut.
I am so excited for Adam!
