The Brain Observatory: Watch a famous brain being sliced up for scientific study STREAMING LIVE

“The man who could not remember has left scientists a gift that will provide insights for generations to come: his brain, now being dissected and digitally mapped in exquisite detail.

The man, Henry Molaison — known during his lifetime only as H.M., to protect his privacy — lost the ability to form new memories after a brain operation in 1953, and over the next half century he became the most studied patient in brain science.” - New York Times, Dissection Begins on a Famous Brain

Another incredible show

Amazing second set.  Phish impresses me once again.  Did that actually just happen?

“ Phish plays Music. All of it. At once. Every single kind you could ever think about. Bluegrass and classical and funk and arena rock and country and avant-garde jazz and Afro-Cuban and power pop and folk. Technically perfect. For four hours straight.

I am so incredibly psyched for this highly-anticipated concert experience.  I hope they play Antelope.

Name that word: What was the slang, possibly derogatory word for a Northern liberal during the Civil War?

Not Yankee, Abolotionist, Unioner, Scalawag or Carpetbagger.  My friend Steph needs to know!  If you’re right, you win our undying respect.

UPDATE: So it turns out she was thinking of Tories.  Yes, this is a term from the American Revolutionary War, not the Civil War, and denotes conservatives who sided with Britain.  Don’t ask.  Thank you for participating!
