For many, the meme was too delicious not to believe and share. It has gone viral on Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook. It even made the FAIL blog. And everywhere it goes, a legion of trolls follows, bloviating about that illiterate trailer trash from Alabama and all the nasty, unrepeatable things that should happen to her. But there’s one problem - nothing about the story is true.

Ok so I’m not a huge fan of the new seasons of Supernatural (that’s right), but the story arc with “the trickster” was pretty cool.

Seriously, though, who like meets a person and is like OMG THIS IS DESTINY WE’RE GOING TO BE BEST FRIENDS or I JUST KNOW WE’RE GOING TO SPEND THE REST OF OUR LIFE TOGETHER? No-one (I hope) is like that. Important people just sort of stick around when everything else changes.

Science professors at American universities widely regard female undergraduates as less competent than male students with the same accomplishments and skills, a new study by researchers at Yale concluded.
As a result, the report found, the professors were less likely to offer the women mentoring or a job. And even if they were willing to offer a job, the salary was lower.
The bias was pervasive, the scientists said, and probably reflected subconscious cultural influences rather than overt or deliberate discrimination.
Female professors were just as biased against women students as their male colleagues, and biology professors just as biased as physics professors — even though more than half of biology majors are women, whereas men far outnumber women in physics.
“I think we were all just a little bit surprised at how powerful the results were — that not only do the faculty in biology, chemistry and physics express these biases quite clearly, but the significance and strength of the results was really quite striking,” said Jo Handelsman, a professor of molecular, cellular and developmental biology at Yale.
Dr. Handelsman was the senior author of an article reporting the findings, published online on Monday by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

See, it was just suffering from low blood-sugar cranky!
We are always emphasising that bats are not the monsters some make them out to be. When we saw the first two pictures below, we wondered if we were wrong. This was a very hungry serotine brought into care over the winter. He was absolutely ravenous, but once fed as the third picture shows, he became a different beast all together .

Potentially the best thing to happen on the internet today.
It seems so neat when it’s laid out like that.

A comic I drew on fighting procrastination.
I saw this pop up on FloobyNooby today and it’s a good one! As I’m currently in the middle of a too-many-bricks kind of month I thought it’d be good to re-share with all my fellow procrastinator gators. Don’t be jerks to your future self! >:0
