I’ve always sucked at math and science, but if I had to pick a scientific field of choice, it would be chemistry. Perhaps it’s because I loved the visual aspect of the subject? Or maybe it’s because I loved the idea of tiny elements interacting with with other. Nonetheless, I actually did well in high school […]
It stretches! It bounces! It tears! It also has a mind of its own when put into contact with metallic objects. Sold at Vat19 for $13.50 (currently sold out ), the Magnetic Thinking Putty also comes with a super-strong neodymium iron boron magnet that lets you play with the stuff straight out of the box. […]

I read a fascinating article titled Science Question from a Toddler: Life Before Birth last week. I highly recommend the full article for any new/expectant mothers; heck, it’s a good read in general even if you’re not into this stuff! The reason I bring up this article is due to a particular passage: Newborns prefer […]

I have no idea how they got these in-womb footages, but they’re pretty amazing! Certainly a lot better than illustrations. P.S. — The last video in the “10 – […]

The article also included a colorful chart titled “The Most Sinful Nation on Earth.” Taking into account the Seven […]
Did anyone else see this earlier this week? Women Lose 90 Per Cent of ‘Eggs’ by 30 I know that plenty of women have healthy babies in their 30s, 40s, and even 50s. However, I can’t help but notice that within my social circle, the rate of conception and trouble-free pregnancies are highest among the […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
