Done.

I have fin­ished my thesis, offi­cially. Sadly, I am too tired to feel happy, and the fact that I didn’t get the chance to see my little sis­ter who was vis­it­ing Sabah for her hol­i­days today because I had to hand in my manu­scripts kind of puts a downer on things. Oh well, at least …

Submitted!

It’s over. At least a large por­tion of work related to my thesis is done with the sub­mis­sion of my final draft for eval­u­ation. Now I can sit back, and thor­oughly enjoy the finale of Puella Magi Madoka Magica within a day or so. And while we are on about shows I like, Doc­tor Who com­pan­ion …

Awe-Inspiring Results from the First Marine Census

Ocean life is amaz­ing. I fear the ocean. It is an alien world over­whelm­ingly unsuit­able for my land-locked body. It is an envir­on­ment where all life truly func­tions in a three-dimensional land­scape. For­wards and back­wards; left and right; down­wards and upwards. It’s depths hides many secrets.

How to Build a Better Brain

New Sci­ent­ist just pub­lished an art­icle that rub­bishes the effect­ive­ness of brain train­ing games (think Nin­tendo DS and Brain Age) which claim to do what it is you think they will do. Basic­ally: Play a musical instru­ment; Stick elec­trodes to your head for some fash­ion­able tran­scend­ental dir­ect cur­rent stim­u­la­tion (tCDS); Work in a lighted area (blue …

Use Dawkins as Your Guide in Research
