My scientist friends keep on passing this link around: http://thepeoplesscience.org/index.html
Has anyone else seen it or heard of it? I think it's a great idea (but don't have time to keep track of those forums in addition to these & my research work).

Somewhat relatedly, for people who want to know what my research is about (kinda, sorta .... ish), here's a great NPR piece about the popsci book one of the Big Names™ in my field wrote about the brain and language and pigs and things. http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2013/05 ... -the-brain

I also really like the flying pig gif that accompanies the piece. (I kinda want to make it my new avatar.) (And by 'kinda' I mean 'definitely' except that I know new avatars are really, really confusing for people.)

The pig is really cute! But your top hat octopus makes me smile.

Lutin, I know you by name. It won't confuse me if you change your avatar. Do it!
