But just on the front page this jumped out: Making science in the top of the World – On The Job by Ramon Terrado Making a PhD might not sound exciting… unless you do your fieldwork onboard an icebreaker in the Arctic!

My last post about how I’m out, loud, and proud as a nerd brought my biggest response to date, which tells me two things. First, it tells me that all of you are also pathetic geeks or proud geeks (which, let’s face it, is pathetic). And second, it tells me that people enjoy it when I admit to being lame. Why?

photo: (CC) Gaetan Lee I admit that this one isn’t the deepest piece of news out there, but I find it too funny (and somehow interesting) to pass up repeating.

Imagine for a moment if you were a Siberian Tiger or a European Hare, stuck in the snow. Your natural colors, which are perfect for your actual (or summer) habitat would start working against you.
