In Which The Science Report Returns With A Bang

Valley Girl Science Corner

by Molly Lambert

Science! You should know by now that it’s another subject I know nearly everything about. My experience with wildfires has taught me a lot.

For instance, everything is science.

The evil Richard Dawkins.

It abolishes red tide!

Wyeth announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an approvable letter for Lybrel (90 microgram levonorgestrel/20 microgram ethinyl estradiol tablets), a low dose, continuous, non-cyclic combination oral contraceptive. In response to the approvable letter, Wyeth will submit additional stability data regarding the Lybrel manufacturing method and additional analyses of submitted clinical data. The agency also indicated that it plans to convene a public meeting of contraceptive experts this year to discuss the clinical aspects of Lybrel.

Oh but here’s some bad news to balance it out ladies! Look at this prick:

“Phew. We’re not obsolete. We’re just dorks who never get laid because we’re too busy looking at ladyparts under a microscope. Science!”

But science also finds out what made T-Rex so gnar-gnar!

(By the way, you don’t know my life!)

It tells you that scary things you already can’t really conceive of are going to crash into each other! When they do the earth will spin elsewhere and a new mega-galaxy called Milkdromeda will emerge!

And Americans and Japanese people read faces differently! Poor Japanese peeps, their stigma about mental health is even worse than ours, and their corporate culture so polite and non-confrontational that they just bottle it all up inside, like men!

Hey a napping helmet!

Oh great, look who got a trust fund. Good luck with your novel, you fucking bear.
