A few days ago, Science Everywhere members Anthony Morgan and Dash McGorman came to my place, uninvited. They immediately helped themselves to a double-bottle of Jackson-Triggs wine, also uninvited. Turns out they had somewhere to be later on, and therefore had to get through the bottle ASAP. They did not explain where they were going, or where they came from, or why they were at my apartment. They were all business.
The PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games have fans around the world on the edge of their seats. But I wonder, why do we care about the competition SO much?
I made three New Year’s Resolutions for 2018. The first one, to stop swearing, was broken at 12:00:02 am on Jan. 1, when I shouted “HAPPY F***IN’ NEW YEAR!” The second was to have a healthier diet, which was broken later that night after 3000 calories of chips and beer.
Last year, we predicted exciting advances in gravitational waves, CRISPR/Cas9 and Planet 9. Which science discoveries are we looking forward to in 2018?

For centuries, the pinnacle of success for women was to be a wife, a mother and a “nice lady”. Anything outside of those boundaries was a risky lifestyle choice. Most women couldn’t support themselves, and those who did make money were ridiculed for it. Either for leaving their children or for for stealing jobs from men.
The Movember Foundation encourages thousands of men to grow moustaches every November. Are these “lady-ticklers” scientifically sexy, or just a hilarious way to raise a ton ofmoney?
Halloween is here again, a time of year to focus on death and terror. I just love it. You know who else focuses on death and terror? Scientists. As we’ve done a few times before, including last Halloween, let’s take time to appreciate the scientists who made great contributions towards scaring the hell out of people.
Well, McDonald’s may have decided that we’re not worthy of knowing the burger count anymore, but I’m not having it. If they can hook me on 520 Calorie burgers, then I deserve to know how many other people they’re slowly leading to obesity.
A giant asteroid just barely missed the Earth, and we didn’t know about it until 3 days after it missed us. Are space agencies even trying to save us?!
