Just wanted to share that my first first-author paper is now online! In the journal Stem Cells and Development, here’s my paper on “Roles of Integrins in Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Growth on Matrigel and Vitronectin.”
Blog Class
One of the contributors to a blog I read fairly frequently, Positive Liberty, is about to start a project that might be of interest to the Druid and others with an interest in science fiction and philosophy. Jason Kuznicki had an idea of a class on science fiction and collectivism, and just posted a reading list for this class, a mixture of different science fiction books and movies with the political philosophy that relates to ideas being presented. He’ll be writing posts over the next few months discussing a book per week.

My first first-author paper!
The Future of Scientific Publishing
Just read a fascinating (if lengthy) essay on disruptive technology and the future of scientific publishing. Well worth the read!
Deflation!
Just wanted to share Mint.com’s Visual Guide to Deflation, which is quite explanatory.
All Things Stem Cell

Barely Literate: The Fermata
I participated in another Barely literate book review podcast, this time on Nicholson Baker’s “The Fermata”. Give it a listen!

Free Rice
Okay, I’ll admit that it’s entirely possible that I am the last person to learn about this website*, but it’s really addictive.
It’s a game that tests your vocabulary. Each time you get a word’s meaning correct, 20 grains of rice are donated to the UN World Program. So, give Free Rice a whirl. I bet you’ll have fun and you’ll get to help make strides toward ending hunger.
*I heard about it forever ago, I just never actually looked at it.
