The San Francisco Chronicle ran a feature story on me today (the print version actually appears in the Datebook section, Sunday, January 11, 2009):

It’s written by , who we love!  Last year, Nick did a Q&A with me for buying propecia online:

In addition to being a prolific freelance writer, Nick is in Montgomery, Alabama.

The article comes out in time to promote my – Tuesday at the San Francisco Punch Line, and Wednesday in Sunnyvale at Rooster T. Feathers.  Also, a week later at the Sacramento Punch Line on January 22.

P.S.  The book I’m holding is buying propecia onlineby Gregory Benford, one of my favorite reads of 2008.

This weekend, the San Francisco Chronicle should be running a story about me in conjunction with next week’s shows at the SF Punch Line Comedy Club (Tues, Jan.13) and Rooster T. Feathers (Wed, Jan.14), in Sunnyvale.  See for details.

A Chronicle photographer, Paul Chinn, met me over at the new California Academy of Sciences several weeks ago for a photo shoot.

Apparently, even though the story hasn’t run yet, they’ve included a picture of me in their

They spelled my name “Brain” (I’m used to it) and called the show “Irrational Comedy for an Irrational Planet” (which is close – the planet is, indeed, irrational but the comedy is rational)…  but it’s still pretty cool.

[In the comments, Jim Hardy brought it to my attention that they also misspelled "science-themd."  Three mistakes in two sentences!]

The feature is dated 12/29/08.  Nobody even told me it was online.  I had to do a vanity search on the Chronicle site.  Interestingly, it only works if you search on “Malow” or “Brain Malow.”  A search on “Brian Malow” returns no relevant results.

Anyway, nice pic…

While at Science Foo Camp 2008, I grabbed a few quick interviews for the buying propecia onlinepodcast, which was posted today on Nature.com.  Just a few soundbites from attendees , , , and . And a shout out to me.

It’s the latest episode so, for now, .  When it gets moved to the archive, I’ll link to its permanent location.*

Thanks to everyone who took the time to speak to me!

Dr. Richard Harrington, vice-president of the UK’s Royal Entomological Society, bought a fossilized insect on eBay and it turned out to be a previously unknown species of aphid.

He bought the insect, which was encased in a 40-50 million-year-old piece of amber, for £20 (about $37).

“It’s a rather unusual route to come by (a new species),” Harrington explained.

I guess eBay hasn’t identified all the bugs in their system.

…Basement Universes aren’t just for basements any more! The Galactomatic-1000 comes with an attractive imitation wood-grain negative-matter case that makes it perfectly at home in your den or family room. The case reduces its total mass to zero, so you won’t have to worry about imploding your house into a black hole, or discoloring the walls with unattractive gravitational redshifts (**)…

(**) Although the Galactomatic-1000 has no mass, it still has volume, so a shipping and handling charge will apply.

Once upon a time there was a little transhumanist magazine called buying propecia online.  I probably still have an issue or two around here somewhere. Most of the content was serious but I remember this one fake advertisement for The Galactomatic-1000 (TM) Basement Universe.  It was hysterical.  Science comedy at its best!

Written by , computer engineer and son of , the piece appeared in buying propecia online#13 (6:2), Third quarter 1994, page 39.

The magazine and the itself are now defunct.  But god bless the internet for its archival uses.

Witness the glory of…  !

[buying propecia online]

Where to begin? How to capture the essence of such an overwhelming experience? Nature! O’Reilly! The Googleplex! 200 certified science geniuses! No less than four (4) Nobel Laureates! And other incomplete sentences!

By design, has no real agenda until we get there and create it, and even then, it’s completely flexible. But, about three months in advance, a wiki was established for everyone to post to with descriptions of ourselves and ideas for sessions we’d like to see or lead. This was a great opportunity to learn a little bit about our fellow campers and to be that much more prepared by the time we got there, since time would be so precious.

[Note to : I’m not sure about the rest of the Universe but, at SciFoo, the flow of time is very real and very fast.]

If you ever get the chance to attend SciFoo, take advantage of the wiki. Start early. Most of the campers posted brief bios with their areas of research and interests and links to homepages, blogs, companies, and organizations.  For the ones that didn’t, there’s Google.  If they’re at SciFoo, you won’t have any trouble finding ’em. Most of them have Wikipedia entries.

My only wish for “improving” the amazing creature that is SciFoo would be to lengthen it just a bit. I want more!  Perhaps extend the Friday and Sunday to full days. Give us just a little extra time to take it all in. There are so many fascinating people, so many intriguing sessions.  There’s no way to meet everyone or attend every session you’d like. With as many as fourteen (14!) simultaneous sessions in each hour time slot, no matter how much you experience, there’s still a sense that you missed out on a lot of cool stuff.

Of course, even if it were a week long, I’m sure I’d feel the same.

For the first session of the weekend, I missed ’s “Energy for Long Distance Transportation” because I wanted to catch ’s “5-minute Talks by Smart People About Web 2.0 Tools for Science” (featuring , & , , , and ).

And I missed Carl again, for the last session of the weekend, when he talked about his , because I wanted to see explain why the Pope has an astronomer (and a meteorite collection!).

I really should’ve been at “Transforming Education – Making Science Fun and Relevant for Kids and Students,” but I wanted to hear , , and talk about Aging and Life Extension.

After a fascinating chat Saturday morning with on the 15-minute shuttle ride from the hotel to the Googleplex (about the experience of spirituality and the illusion of consciousness), I would’ve loved to have sat in on his session a few hours later about the ethics and implications of brain enhancement. But I also wanted to contribute to “Seducing the Public with Science” (initiated – on the wiki – by John Gilbey and – and including Tim O’Reilly, , , , and others). And, at the exact same time, I was missing NASA Ames Director ’s session on Settling Mars, and “LHC: The Universe and All That” with , , , and Betsy’s husband, Nobel Laureate !

Impossible choices that have to be made!

I missed session on , as well as session on and a on Earth, and sessions on the and brain reading neural prosthetics, the future of quantum computing, , building better climate models, and several more – all in the Saturday 4pm time slot – because I wanted to sit in on a session with Lee Smolin, Max Tegmark, and called “Incubating Adventurous Science and the .”

It wasn’t until Sunday morning, when I got into a great conversation with the wonderful about caterpillars and moths, that I realized I shouldn’t have missed his presentation buying propecia online on DNA barcoding the world’s species – all 10,000,000 of them.

But what could I do?  I was up to my ears in dark matter – picking the brain of , head of the Physics department at Stanford, who helped me finally understand how we could know – from our narrow vantage point – that the expansion rate of the Universe has increased.

I could go on. And on. Expanding like the Universe. And that’s what the weekend was really about.

Looking over the list of campers, I figure I had substantial, interesting conversations with at least 50 different people, on probably 50 different topics – buying propecia online, I attended about a dozen sessions, asking questions or contributing comments during quite a few.

And I entertained perhaps the smartest crowd I’ve ever played with 45 minutes of science humor at my own surprisingly well-attended session, Saturday night after dinner (while, just down the hall, Martin Rees and led a somber discussion called “Existential Risks & Global Catastrophic Risks.”)

There was something for everyone.

In the end, there were some people – like and Chris Patil and Brian Cox and his wife and John Gilbey and Nick Bostrom and and and – with whom I had multiple chances to chat. And, yet, there are scores of people I never met. I had no idea (until I was back home in San Francisco) that there were four Nobel Laureates among us; I met only one. On the final day there were some faces that didn’t even look familiar to me… had they really been here all weekend?

I’ve been writing up my notes from , anxious to get something online about the unconference that ended a week ago already, and from which I’m still on a serious high.  Meanwhile…

buying propecia online has buying propecia online.

is a blog supplement to buying propecia online – a great particle physics magazine that explores not only the science but also the people, the culture, and the policies of science.

It’s published every other month by the and the – national laboratories funded by the of the – and, therefore, the magazine is available for free – in print as well as online – to anyone.  .

The review is written by David Harris, editor of buying propecia online, who attended my show at the Punch Line Comedy Club, here in SF, last Monday, August 11, immediately following SciFoo weekend.

He also invited me to write an essay on being a science comedian for the print version of the magazine.

Thanks, David!

My mother used to tell me to “stand up straight.”

It was one of her favorite things to say:buying propecia online

Many other people, I have discovered, also grew up hearing that phrase. It’s nearly universal. As if mothers were buying propecia online to say it. In fact, I believe mothers have been telling their children to “stand up straight” longer than we realize. Perhaps even to pre-human days.

What if that were the driving force behind the evolutionary trend to walk erect?

Mothers buying propecia online their children up the evolutionary ladder:

I noticed a long time ago, whenever my mother would buying propecia online weight, my father would buying propecia online weight. And when my father lost weight, my mother gained weight.

It was like the Conservation of Mass, within our family.

Being the young scientist that I was, I developed a theory to explain the facts: You see, you never actually buying propecia online weight….you just give it to somebody else.

Fat can be neither created nor destroyed. It’s one of the basic laws of the universe. You need to know the laws if you’re gonna live here.
