That picture up top makes me want to see a bio-pic starring James Marsters.

What I wouldn't give for the setup these two had, pre-2012. Alas! That shit is expensive!
I found this review started off spicy with overtones of pomp. Once settled on my eyes, it yielded to subtle well-documented roasted-reviewer flavors. Overall the body was full, but not too stiff. It was lite without being weak. It finished well and left me satisfied. I would pair this well with a morning spoiler and…
"Unequivocally better"? Your ass, it is!
Anybody here like Hot Fuzz more than Shaun of the Dead?
I know I do; I think it's consistently more funny than Shaun of the Dead, especially when you've seen it a lot.
I'm surprised that no one mentioned this yet, but Watson and Crick's contribution was very small. Their paper did form the basis for modern genetics, but it almost did not introduce new concepts: everything was based on the work of others; the composition of the molecule was found by one guy, the pairing between the…
That seems to be one of the big issues with the NIMH's approach. There was an article related to this earlier today over on Jezebel; this is a potentially interesting discussion in the comments, mainly criticizing the NIMH's viewpoint and going over their motivations. (tl;dr on the latter - there's a fair amount of…
That's a healthcare system problem more or less, I know if I need a PET I can go get a requisition and have it done the next day, maybe with a few hours of waiting at the office if I don't get up early enough to avoid the long waits.
It means the practice of psychiatry will become more thoroughly integrated into the integrative group medical practice system. This is an inevitability for every specialty, its just a question of how long it will take. A large hospital is able to effectively distribute the costs for expensive machinery.
Symptoms should be noted, and these patients should be referred to a facility that does have that equipment for testing. The idea that psychiatrists are able to write prescriptions for powerful and potentially addictive mind-altering substances based only on interviewing the patient and with no clinical measurements…
I agree - I think it's important not to conflate "monumental" with "transformative."
I don't think you can overstate its importance to our philosophical culture. Once you understand DNA and protein synthesis, the entire problem of vitalism - something which seemed so utterly inexplicable - simply dissolves. It's really rather beautiful and miraculous.
What fascinates me to this day is the willingness of women to feed into this bullshit. Even I, in my younger days, bought into it a bit! I would love to see an article along these lines about that phenomenon. I sort of have a notion about why it might be but would love to read a piece/ develop that line of thought…
DSM 5 isn't a paradigm shift, but the NIMH's choice to not support it definitely is. While Insel might say that we need to move toward a mechanism that uses neuroscience, genetics and biology to inform diagnoses, what he doesn't mention is the fact that the methodology needed to perform diagnostics using these…
Who told you that the Chinese state has a majority ownership in all the businesses there? This simply isn't true, I worked for 10 yeas at a law firm with a couple of large Chinese business clients (they have an office in Singapore) and I assure you there was no official government control of those entities.
"Our philosophy about doing cities, and respecting the canon of how the work is described by Gene Roddenberry, is that you’re only a few 100 years in the future,” reports Guyett. “You’re not that far away. If you look historically at the way somewhere like London has changed in the last 100 years, there are many…
