Dork Doping

The interwebs are atwitter because Nature just released a poll where 20% of scientists admit using drugs to help concentration. There is a big question as to whether or not these things even work and it is undeniable that they work differently for different people, but it would be nice to have some study of the issue's complexities.


Speaking of Wired articles, I both think the news about technology that allows evacuation on command for people who have problems with such things as a result of spinal injuries is a really neat development and find it almost impossible not to have jokes running through my head based on the command being scratching the inner thigh. It seems like something that might have to be explained very carefully in somewhat distracting circumstances.
