So, today.

John Medina, author of Brain Rules, gave a presentation to my class this morning. Mostly it was an amazing, engaging presentation, about the brain, about why he didn't include anything about food and/or nutrition in the book, how power-points are the worst thing ever for engaging the brain, why we can't mutli-task, etc. But one thing pretty much ruined it for me.

Understanding that John Medina is a neurologist. And that he literally wrote a book on how to use brain's characteristics to engage people and help them learn, and that he knows what makes neurons light up...I'm not sure what to think about this.

( Cut almost alliteratively for mentions of miscarriage and melodrama... )

So anyway, I e-mailed one of the teachers and basically explained my reaction, and suggested that he refrain from using that example in future presentations. And now, I guess to do something fun or funnish.

Ao3 Posts for 3W4DW fics

There are four of them, surprisingly few. This are the "official" evolving versions (i.e. the one that should be considered the "updated" version, at any given point in time).

From the Desk of Bubbles: Things I Will Keep Doing as a Boy FTM Bubbles fic, for torachan's Transfic Mini-Fest. Also, apparently the first Powerpuff Girls fic at Ao3.

Blessed Art Thou Amongst Women Dead Like Me fic for another Transfic prompt, featuring an Intersex!Daisy.

Area of Expertise Liar Game fic. It's the Zombie Apocalypse, and Fukunaga is ready to kick ass. I already posted this, but the evolving version is going to be at Ao3.

The "You" You See in the Engine. Space Cases/Firefly crossover. Apparently Jewel Staite gets typecast as engineering geniuses. Just saying.
