Social media a good place for Science Fun 101

By Amanda Hutchinson, Contributing Writer • March 3, 2013

Science can be scary. Even as a biology minor wanting to pursue science journalism, I’m a little intimidated by the ideas of quantum physics, thermochemistry, or developmental psychology.

The End of Bieber Fever

A surprising amount of people are completely…

I was rejected by a cartoon cereal mascot

By SB Kasulke, Blogger, Jerk • October 29, 2012

Sun. 4:15 PM Sent off my fourth or fifth tweet to @RealCapnCrunch, the official, verified[1] twitter account of Captain Crunch. Yes, that Captain Crunch. The foremost naval commander of Quaker Oats cereals. He’s never responded to any of my tweets asking for an interview. This is worrisome. I have a bunch of followers who can…
