About me
I am a college student majoring in Biology and minoring in Psychology; I also study Russian (and have done so for three years as of now), and am all but fluent in French. I love music (seriously); check out my Last.fm page, linked below, to see my listening habits – and feel free to add me as a friend. My interests include (amateur) digital photography, the webcomic Achewood, psychiatric genetics, and all things Russian.
Why I use Clipmarks
It is a handy way both to organize snippets of information, particularly those that I use in academic research, and to satisfy my slightly obsessive need for organization itself. The community is vibrant and delightful, too.

Five Science Fiction Movies That Get the Science Right

by nohobot  5-9-2008   
 "2001: A Space Odyssey" is my all-time favorite film, so I included almost all of the information from that section. The others on the list are also interesting, though, of course.

Genes Trigger Phobias in Kids & Teens
nohobot
by nohobot  4-7-2008   
 I met with Dr. Kendler when I was just a 10th grader in high school. I love finding major research results he has published, as our interests usually intersect (such as with psychiatric genetics in general, and schizophrenia and phobias in particular).

Human Species "May Split in Two"
nohobot
by nohobot  4-3-2008    2
 It's an old article, but a Biology professor of mine brought it to my class' attention today. Another interesting part that I wanted to clip: "But in the nearer future, humans will evolve in 1,000 years into giants between 6ft and 7ft tall, he predicts, while life-spans will have extended to 120 years, Dr Curry claims."

Third Cousins Have Greatest Number of Offspring
nohobot
by nohobot  4-1-2008   
 Since evolutionary fitness is determined by the relative success of passing along one's genes, it appears that inbreeding third cousins are the most evolutionarily fit mates.

Anti-Depressants "Of Little Use"
nohobot
by nohobot  2-26-2008   
 This doesn't really surprise me, since people with mild depression probably shouldn't be given drugs in the first place. It's a shame that so many psychiatrists have become revolving door prescription dispensers instead of knowledgeable therapists skilled in a number of treatment approaches.
