Here’s a bit of fun amongst multiple essays and test preparation:

This is Foaming Mouth Guy . According to TCM (the old kind), he suffers from Spleen Qi deficiency and yin seizures due to internal wind. Symptoms include excess saliva production, phlegm obstructions to the head resulting in unbalanced Qi, and fainting. These symptoms in the modern version of TCM are said to be caused by large amounts of stress, living in a damp area, over-thinking, and possible head trauma. Poor foaming mouth guy – someone needs to give him some ground oyster shell.

(Foaming Mouth Guy is a character from the popular children’s series “Avatar the Last Airbender”.  I do not own rights to this character, but he sure was fun to analyze.)

TCM = Traditional Chinese Medicine

So for my research this semester and some general galavanting around youtube and the internet in my spare time, I came upon some  interesting websites and videos to do with science, medicine, and technology. There’s everything from TEDtalks, to some rap, to other blogs, to websites about uranium and nuclear energy, to medical posters from around the world.  Enjoy everyone!

Nuclear Technology in Kazakhstan:

• Nuclear News Kazakhstan
• Happy Birthday Atomic Lake!
• Russian Eugenics in Kazakhstan?! ( BBC British POV)

TEDtalks:

• Our inner Neanderthal
• Potential “6th Sense” Technology
• Ultrasound Surgery – Healing Without Cuts
• How it Feels to Have a Stroke
• How we presently see “gender” – Is Anatomy Destiny? 

Fun:

• ROTATE YOUR OWL FOR SCIENCE!
• Pneumatic Prank
• Protein synthesis – An Epic At A Cellular Level

Don’t you just hate when you lose something important!

I’ve done two papers on the sterilization of Leilani Muir and after my computer died in September, I lost them both! I mustn’t have saved them to my email before printing them.

It’s so sad… I had the feminist view and the scientific view all figured out and *POOF*—- gone!

(for those who have not read the  “Epiphany” post, read the bottom at least – it basically tells you why you shouldn’t and cannot plagiarize my work successfully – why would you want to plagiarize my work anyway – my average is lower than yours, right? …. but seriously, you use my work – I kill you in your sleep, capiche?)

Let me also note that I know my writing is REALLY BAD! I’ve only ever gotten a B+ in any English course, ever! And much of what was written here was written at 3am… (Don’t Do As Sarah Does). Anyway, if I ever eventually have insight in the History of Science and Medicine, I’ll make sure that I have a good editor.

Here’s two sides of a cue-card for my first history if Science and technology course… there’s a reason my average was the class average U__U”
