HOT SCIENCE-Y GUY OF THE MONTH – NUVIA CRISOL GUERRA
Something a little different this time, people. This month’s Hot Science-y Guy of the Month isn’t a guy (as if you need me to tell you that). But she is hot (like en fuego-y and muy caliente hot). And she’s very science-y. So in the words of the beloved rock-icon-named-after-a-comfort food, Meatloaf, two outta three ain’t bad. And when you’re Nuvia Crisol Guerra, that’s the total opposite of bad! Nuvia Crisol Guerra. Okay, that’s just a hot name right there. Nuvia. Nuvia. Like she’s a supermodel or a sports car. I’d never heard of a Nuvia before this Nuvia. I…
THE NUDE MOUSE – A SCIENCE CREATIVE QUARTERLY PIN UP (NO. 1)
(CLICK HERE FOR PIN-UP POSTER – pdf file ~250k) — We suggest photocopying at 129% – LTR to 11×17 — Earlier this week, we had the chance to sit down with a member of a growing army of naked bubble mice. In thousands of biology labs around the globe, these lab mice quietly do their part in the pursuit of science and medicine. Called Nude Mice, these striking creatures are a result of spontaneous inbreeding, natural genetic freak shows if you will. More importantly, they are bereft of both hair and immunity – things that would normally protect them from…
SIX FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER SIGHTINGS
Beginning next week, the SCQ will present (in no particular order) an “appendix” of FSM pieces that have been chosen as finalists in the Ramen contest. The winner will be announced as soon as Bobby gets back to us, from his busy busy schedule promoting his book. – – – SIGHTING #1. Yes, FSM appeared unto my living room wall late one afternoon, obviously sending the canaries (lower left) into a paroxysm of rapture! Also take note of the plant bowing in reverence or lack of watering – Stanton. – – – SIGHTING #2. The Archaeological Museum of Heraklion has…
HOLLYWOOD VS. SCIENCE: HOW FAR ARE WE FROM INTERSTELLAR TRAVEL?
Virtually all Hollywood science fiction – from Star Trek to Total Recall to the Alien franchise – agrees on one basic point: sometime in the near future, humanity will soup up its spaceships, stock them with silver jumpsuits, and get itself beyond the confines of our solar system. So, in no time at all, humanity will reach other worlds, says Hollywood. We may meet new species, and someday, God willing, we’ll all get the chance to have aliens hatch out of us at breakfast. To many of us, this vision is just a matter of time. After all, it’s been…
SEXY UNIVERSE
You are fine, what did you say your name is again? Mm. You got a way aboutcha, no lie. I like the way you cuuuuuuuurve so seductively around massive objects, baby, and I am dying to see how much you curve around this. You give me different looks, I like that, always something new to discover about you. I feel I can dig pretty deep into your mysteries and oh lordy do you have mysteries. You’re charming but you’ve also got depth, underneath the surface there’s something so consistent about you. Dependable. You’re not a flake is what I’m saying,…
