My talk from Skepticon is now online! If you ever wanted a quick and dirty summary of basic genetic concepts, now’s your chance. I try to address a lot of common misconceptions about genetics and address some of the shoddy ways genetics is portrayed by the media: That was my first time giving that talk. [...]

Oh Purdue
September 9th, 2011
Jen I feel like I should fight this, saying there’s only room for one internet meme to come out of Purdue…but it involves cute guys being stupid, so I can’t resist: My thought of “And then they fell and snapped their necks” flitted away once I laughed at the guy hanging off the Amelia Earhart statue [...]
How to speak Hoosier
September 8th, 2011
Jen These videos crack me up. Not every dialect oddity applies to me since I grew up closer to Chicago, but it is pretty stereotypical for the rest of Indiana: …I do this all the time. I always have to edit “anyways” down to “anyway” when I’m blogging. Mumble “prolly” instead of “probably.” And I learned [...]
The video of me learning how to ride a bike
August 22nd, 2011
Jen My part starts at 1:14: I have to keep reminding myself that I did this for the children. Hooray for Camp Quest! Take that, PZ! And no, I swear I’m not a chain smoker. I lost my voice from having too much fun at the Secular Student Alliance conference. And yes, that’s the farthest I [...]

I’m a sucker for terrible Christian movies

Jen I want to see this so badly: From the video description: “The Waiting Game is about a guy who saves himself for marriage only to have his fiance leave him on their wedding day. He must now decide if it’s worth it to wait again.” What the movie is really about: only getting married because [...]
Well, I’m impressed

Jen This amazing video was made in response to an article in Newsweek that claimed Grand Rapids, MI was a dying city: I think what is really shows is that people in Grand Rapids have way too much time on their hands – but it’s awesome nonetheless. (Via Slog)
This makes me happy
March 26th, 2011
Jen As anyone who’s gone on a road trip with me knows, I have a penchant for Disney music. Which is why this video makes me all sorts of happy, and I command you to watch it: That guy has talent.
I’ve found my religion
March 1st, 2011
Jen The Manifesto of Mother Monster: I love Lady Gaga so much. One, I was raised on Madonna and disco, so I love me some dance music. Two, she’s fucking insane. It’s awesome. I have no idea what I just watched or what sort of drugs went into the creation of it, but I love it. [...]
