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.”
This is a really weird visual effect — another optical effect revealing how strangely our eyes and brain are wired sometimes.Just staring at it normally I could quickly see the “gray” circle become green. I got the others to disappear pretty easily the first time I stared at the center long enough, but seemed to lose focus after that, making it a lot harder for the pink circles to disappear. Hope you guys enjoy it.
Dr. Dubin once mentioned that if he were staring straight ahead, somebody could walk in, being very quiet, and sit down right next to him, and if his brain never saw any motion (so, if the person was moving very slowly) out of the corner of his eye he’d “see” the seat next to him as empty.

Just read a fascinating (if lengthy) essay on disruptive technology and the future of scientific publishing. Well worth the read!
Just wanted to share Mint.com’s Visual Guide to Deflation, which is quite explanatory.
Hey all Paradoxdruid readers! I recently started up a blog on stem cells that I’d love you all to take a look at: http://www.allthingsstemcell.com/
I participated in another Barely literate book review podcast, this time on Nicholson Baker’s “The Fermata”. Give it a listen!

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.Â
