Being able to publish negative data is really important in science, even though it rarely happens. The only real way to publish negative data is as supplemental data in an article that also contains positive results. So you put the results that “work” (meaning gave you substantive positive results) in the main body…

I didn’t take anything while still pregnant because it was only during the last two weeks for the PUPPP. But for the hives, I started with a topical corticosteroid (over the counter) that didn’t do anything. Finally my PCP prescribed 20 mg/day of prednisone which was low enough that I was okay to still breastfeed,…

It was the WORST! I was in tears most nights. I think it took 2 weeks to get treated because since it happened right after delivery (before I even left the hospital) I kept asking my midwives what to do, and all they could say was take antihistamines before finally telling me to see my PCP. I’m not sure he believed it…

I had PUPPPs too! Ugh, luckily just the last two weeks, but that was miserable, my belly itched so bad. Then after I delivered I ended up with post-partum hives all over my arms and legs. My midwives and PCP kept telling me that there must have been a trigger (change in soap or laundry detergent). I kept telling them…

HI’ve had two semi difficult deliveries.

I liked it but didn’t love it. I liked the mystery of the first book, and although I would have liked a bit more from the second, the third was really good and started filling in some of the pieces. I didn’t get a complete sense of closure at the end, but got enough that I didn’t feel too unsatisfied.

I am also a Good Kid, but I picked Picky Eating because it turns out I was a picky eater, but my mom catered to it so I never had to try new things. It wasn’t until college (and I met my husband) that I learned about all the delicious foods I should have been eating all along.

Were those good? I’ve seen the I am Not a Serial Killer on a list somewhere, wondering if I should watch it.

I really liked Captain Fantastic. I thought the acting was spot on, Viggo, but especially the kids. The oldest son had that awkward, approaching adulthood have drunk his dads kool aid but starting to realize that he’s unprepared for anything approaching the real world. He was earnest around other people but also…

I know, I know. I’m too old for Hot Topic. But sometimes their stuff is actually cute and looks good on me and is surprisingly well made (better than a lot of stuff you can get at the mall). I got one of the dresses for their Orphan Black series a couple years ago and I still wear it and it’s held up pretty well.

The fact that he so clearly wants to take Corinne to the fantasy suite is the sole reason she’s in my final 4 for my bracket. Most everyone else in my Bachelor League have her leaving before the 6 because that’s normally how far the “crazy” one goes. Corinne isn’t actually crazy, but she is immature but also a good…

I need to wait until April after I have this baby delivered. Hopefully my insurance won’t change before then (not ACA insurance and my employers are super into preventative medicine so I should be safe).

Thank you! I was scrolling to see if anyone else posted this before I did. This is how we sing it at graduation!

This reminds me sooooo much of when the college republicans at my college invited Phyllis Schlafly to speak. This was at a prominent women’s college and Schlafly is known for her rhetoric that women belong in the home and not working.

We used to do it all manually (one of my co-workers takes control of making the bracket and questions), but this year we are using the ABC/ESPN online bracket system.

Fantasy Bachelor and Bachelorette are a staple among the women at my work. We all do a bracket and get points. I never win (I’m terrible at picking out who is going to be featured for just one episode before being cast off and who is in multiple episodes).

Well first prototype done. Will have to try again. I decided to try cutting out john, but I think I’ll skip that next time. Also the box is a bit too tall, a 1/2 inch off that will make him a bit more snug. But considering I made it in 20 minutes out of stuff I had in the lab, I’m particularly pleased! I think…

Oh man, I was just trying to figure out what to get my husband for christmas! But this is perfect, as our go-to christmas movie.

There’s a picture of Hillary amongst her wall of strong women politicians and it makes me so sad when I see it.
