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.”
That’s right folks, it’s time again for the great round-up of those lovable internet time-wasters: Online Comic Strips! *drumroll*
First up, we have the comic strips that I check as often as possible, come hell or high water:
Next up, the Forgotten– strips which I used to read, but no more:
Finally, we have the Rising Stars– comics I’ve only recently discovered, but am really liking:
So, all that said– What comics do you like??
While I do read most of the above list, recently I’ve found Piled Higher and Deeper to be the one I’ve read the most. I think any grad student, especially those in the sciences would love the over eight years of comics chronicling the lives of various grad students.

stephen - November 20th, 2005 at 11:28 amI have a whole bunch of free time at work (It’s how I’m going to actually finish my NaNoWriMo project):
Bunny
Weird art, weird sense of humor, probably drug-induced, usually good
Freefall
Sci-fi that’s much more about humans and the weirdness of our visions of the future.
I Drew This
Weekly(?) very liberal political cartoon by the guy who did… er… one of those other ones. A lot like Tomorrow World.
Least I Could Do
Being an over-sexed man can be funny!
Unshelved
Library humor. It’s actually really funny. Though you might have to be married to a librarian to get some of it.
Questionable Content
Poking fun at hipsters is fun.
Order of the Stick
D&D humor.
Two Lumps
Cat humor.
User Friendly
IT geek humor.
Ghastly’s Ghastly Comic
Tentacoo wape! Buck cake! YAY! NSFW (and I don’t read it there)
And one that I like, but never get around to reading:
Chopping Block
The funniest serial killer since Lecter!
And more!
PAWN
It’s… um… a soft-core lesbian fantasy/tomb raider adventure comic. Er… imagine Lara Croft in a too-short skirt without underwear on, and a naked she-demon, and those are the two main characters. And it’s good!
Jenny’s recommendations (interpretted through Owen):
Dominic Deegan
Prognostication and lurve!
Wapsi Square
Um… a diminutive Aztec god and a girl and her friends and life’s little troubles.
Bruno
‘s ’bout a woman named Bruno, and is funny, from what I’ve read of it.
Scary Go Round
Vaguely goth-ness that gets better with time.
Girly
Two girls and a cat have adventures.
You… read quite a few webcomics, Owen. 🙂
Paradoxdruid - November 21st, 2005 at 11:26 pmYep. When my job isn’t paying me to write my novel, it’s paying me to read web comics.
And, sometimes, to QC clinical drug trial electronic databases.

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!
Obama has outlined a strategy for America, in great depth. Read all about Change.gov!
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.ÂÂ
