cool badges

The Science Scouts develop some seriously cool badges. For all humankind.

Anyone is welcome to use these badges, although a link to this site (or the specific badge entry) is much appreciated. Even better is if you provide an anecdote in the comments section to explain your reasons for awarding yourself the badge.

Excellent. I allow myself to award myself a few.

Also, thanks to Science Scouts, I’ve got acquainted with The Science Creative Quarterly, which publishes some very nice articles, such as this review by Vince LiCata.

This is a large book. Weighing in at a solid 11.5 pounds (5.2 kg), this book is good for whacking things.

If you only have time to read one biochemistry textbook this year, Ezra Pound’s “On Biochemistry” is the book you want, unless you actually need to learn some biochemistry.
