The weird, blood-boiling and irrelevant:

• Wondering about what makes a good scientist? Check out the science report of Sir John Gurdon, 2012 Nobel Prize winner.
• Francis S. Collins, Director of NIH, makes $199,700/year. How do the rest of us dare to complain?!
• It is nice to have a well-educated politician who understands how science works. And there are those other ones, too, who believe that we create mice with human brains.
• Caught in a Bad Project? You are not alone…
• A look of us, scientists, in a (not-so) distorted mirror.
• A Stress Analysis of a Strapless Evening Gown.
