First 3D Map of the Brain’s Connections →
“Van Wedeen, a Harvard radiology professor, is awestruck: “We’ve never really seen the brain – it’s been hiding in plain sight.” Conventional scanning has offered us a crude glimpse, but scientists such as Wedeen aim to produce the first ever three-dimensional map of all its neurons. They call this circuit diagram the “connectome”, and it could help us better understand everything from...

simplysaraanne asked: RE: Your day.

I've never heard (read?) you swear, and I was startled. I do not know what's happening in your life, but I know that you have a beautiful soul, and that even if you’re not sure whether to be proud of yourself or not, I am proud of you: for getting through the day without naps, tears or smokes (because I was not so fortunate), and for the person that you...

Sorta feel like I should be proud of myself right...
Just trying to stay strong - but today it’s damn difficult. It’s almost comical to think back to earlier today - I was acting so dramatically, fuming about things that didn’t even matter. But now, now I remember what a real stressor feels like. Like a fucking blow to the head, complete with the little white spots left in your vision and the ringing in your ears. Dear God, I...

coleyblogg asked: Hi there. I remember a while ago you responded to a post I had about my Guatemala trip, and I really appreciated your reply, so I began following your blog. I'm writing to let you know that it's okay to be questioning your faith. I think we all need to go through that point and really consider what we were taught in childhood and why we still believe it. I went through that process my...

This is a first..
It’s now 6pm on Good Friday, and I haven’t been to church today. Or at all this week, for that matter. It’s quite possibly the first time I haven’t gone to Mass for Holy Week in my entire life. For the past 22 years, I’ve been in one church or another every Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday services. Haha - yes, that reveals a lot about my...

—Robert Kennedy I think I found my new inspiration. I’m no expert, but the little I’ve learned of Bobby Kennedy is enough to impress me with his passion and conviction. Don’t you just wonder how much he could’ve accomplished in the way of peace if his life hadn’t been cut so drastically short?

You say procrastination, but I call it "continuing...
After my massive neuro final today (and 4 subsequent hours of mind-numbing lectures), I have basically turned into a worthless pile of passivity, with little in the way of motivation, and even less of productivity. If I attempt to fit one more fact or figure into my brain, my head may actually explode. Or my brain may start oozing out of my ears. One of the two. Considering I have 3 more exams in...
