The first is Steve Novella, for this post where he uses the logic of science to tear apart accupuncture. I do love good science.
The other is this quote from Eric Ambler, which is the most poetic intro I’ve yet found for my research:
” With most persons, recognition was based on the perception of vague, half-observed quantities which together formed a caricature significant more in its relation to the observer than to the observed”
I had a meeting with my advisor today, which was… frustrating. Not on her part, of course. Jeanine is extraordinary. But we have a serious problem, and one that might not be fixable at this point. She’s going to pull an RA off another project to help me out, and we will probably end up throwing some $$$ at it (think of this as the Paulson approach to research), and then I have an entire month to sift it every which way in hopes of salvaging the results. On the other hand, if we can get it to work, it’s going to be even more interesting than I previously noted. So interesting in fact, that I am delaying my laundry trip to write about it.
I have no shame in saying I did not see this coming. No one did.
All I can say is:
