Belated congratulations to Sonja Vujovic on winning the clinical sciences section of the UCL Graduate School Poster Competition last year.

Patterns of gene expression and novel factors involved in cartilage development identified through transcriptional analysis of MSC chondrogenesis

I don’t come close to understanding the title, let alone the abstract, but it certainly does sound impressive.

Bram Cohen came up with a very cool Schrödinger’s cat like quantum mechanics thought experiment the other day involving a quantum dualist shooting himself at twenty paces.

Sadly, back when I studied quantum mechanics it was all differential equations and very few thought experiments. I guess that is what you should expect in a real science class and I probably would have been happier moonlighting in philosophy except that they always seemed to have so much reading to do. Still, at least I can claim that once upon a time I actually understood all this stuff.
