The many ways everything is going to pot

Things are heating up on the dissertation front, and I am a big ball of stress. What better way to let out some steam than to direct y'all to a bunch of links covering various areas in which we are doomed?
  1. The cost of creativity?
  2. Mysterious infectious disease is WIND-BORNE, oh god.
  3. Remember the arsenic in our apple juice? Well, add chicken to the list of arsenic-contaminated food items.
  4. Sitting is really not good for you. Makes me so sad that my job is to sit in one place all day long.
  5. Ever wonder what's in your cosmetics and other personal care products? No? Maybe you should.
  6. The government fails me yet again, provides fuel to my desire to move to the prairie and live as a farmer.
  7. Fast Food makes you depressed?
  8. Turns out cola is bad for you for more reasons than sugar/fake sugar (depending on your preferred level of diet-ness). It's full of cancer, too!
  9. Is Google turning evil? Maybe.
  10. And now for some good news: Booze is good for problem-solving.
Happy Passover and Easter and whatnot.

  1. Huh. This never popped up on my RSS feed weeks ago. Just seeing it now (and not via RSS).

    Hope that dissertation progress was made - perhaps even, dare I hope, completion?

    End of my semester is coming fast & furious too! Then time to take another year off. No time to look at the links now. Later.

    Bye Jessicool. Be well.

  2. So I ran into someone I went to college with this weekend. She's taking a faculty position at Cornell. Looks a decent amount like you, only smaller.
