A blog about, well, science, society and stuff…
Bizzarely, according to Google, the trend in searching for the word Microarray has been decreasing. I would have thought that this hot new technology would be going up, not down.
Bioinformatics is also going down, genetics is stable, more or less.
This last graph is ‘Math’. How very cyclical. It is a really consistent […]
The GAA has nothing whatsoever to do with dog fighting and simply because one of their members is involved, this still doesn’t make it the job of the GAA to prosecute them.
The GAA welcomes people into their sport. They tell them the rules, provide insurance for them, provide referees and if they step out […]
In an alphabetised list of the subjects I blog on, Sex and Sinn Fein come between Science and Society.

Last night’s TV debate concerning the effects of cannabis usage took the usual route. Everybody condemned it and said wasn’t it awful the way the country was now and that it was only going to get worse.
Hang on. Actually, the debate was somewhat different.
There were people debating the fact that cannabis was a […]
The last line is the funny one. The rest? Meh.

I was asked recently about what beauty means.
If you are wondering why I might be asked such a question, then the answer is because I have been on the telly a few times to speak about this issue.
There is a curious connection between genetics and sex and beauty and it goes like this.
Consider that you […]
Back pain this week.
Really bad back pain and I cannot walk.
Have had three intramuscular injections in the past three days.
On this diagram, the injections were in the right X.
Don’t comment. No matter what the temptation is…

The gardai are the official organ charged with the implementation, as much as possible, of the laws of the state. The laws are generated, we hope, with regard to what is right and what is wrong and are designed to be within the broad set of ideas that are outlined in the […]
Pat Rabbitte has resigned as leader of the Labour Party and is possibly going to be succeeded by Eamon Gilmore. Ronan Mullen is a sitting senator in Leinster House.
What do they all have in common?
They have all been past presidents of the UCG Student’s Union.
Join to the list Daithi MacCarthaigh, who has run for […]
Pat Rabbitte resigning has all happened in my absence. I am out of the country for a week. I am not too surprised by this and think that it will benefit the labour party considerably.
