@budu1 Many thanks!

@SilarMcNair Thanks!
Looking for academic literature on contribution of co2 to global warming. Where to start: databases, search terms, authors, key papers?
Thinking carbamazepine was for insomnia.
Just found an old bottle of carbamazepine in my dresser. Can't figure out why it would have been prescribed. Anyone know off label uses?
On my way to the airport. Will be home tonight.
@jiffer I like it!
@bartenderMEEX Congrats! I hope the rest turn out equally well. :)
@jiffer I didn't monitor it, but I managed to resist some pretty strong urges when I got home and actually fell asleep which was nice
@jiffer Did you notice any symptoms of withdrawal?
Tea is so much better here. Mmmmm
Thinking I need to actually monitor my caffeine intake today. Forcing myself to stay awake and my drug of choice is calling. Hard to resist
Waiting for the day when my desktop app will sort tweets, not users, by content
An excellent post on the testosterone study by Neuroskeptic http://neuroskeptic.blogspot.com/2009...
Testosterone stimulates increasing status, not necessarily violence? http://www.sciencedaily.com/release... This seems to be overstating the case
RT @BlumeEvolution New peer-to-peer Wiki-project introduced at Evolutionary Religious Studies. http://evolution.binghamton.edu/religio... #Wikireligiosus
Is it better to specialize early or late in one's career? http://www.iq.harvard.edu/blog... It would be interesting to compare social vs. "hard" scientists
@jiffer Indeed!
Participants can guess personality, including religiosity, from photos http://www.sciencedaily.com/release...
@jiffer When someone makes my gender obvious to me, it makes me uncomfortable, but when I point it out, it makes them uncomfortable.
@jiffer Have any thoughts on gender in language? It seems like sth most people don't even notice.
@jiffer Well, I've been reading evo-psych all semester, so my current answer would be sth about the high evolutionary relevance of sex
@jiffer But will we ever be rid of "Hey, Mister," "Excuse me, Miss," "I'm sorry, Ma'am," "Yes, sir"? Or start saying "the person" by default
@jiffer Yuck! Also, what would one use when speaking? I am beginning to think that spoken language might be hardest. We already have "s/he."
@jerseyerica Roughly. Will be in the US from Dec 18-Jan 19. NJ prob Dec 22 (eve)-Dec 29
Pretty appalled by what this article suggests some think 'academic freedom' covers. http://chronicle.com/article... via @chronicle
Major changes to the GRE in 2011 http://www.nytimes.com/2009...
I've read of efforts to create gender neutral pronouns (e.g., "ze") but what about gender neutral titles to replace Mrs./Ms./Miss/Mr.?
