I liked the 9 rules Grammar Girl gave this week for leaving comments on things such as blogs. So practice these rules and leave me a comment! :)
1. Motivation for the comment
2. Provide context
3. Be respectful
4. Make a point
5. Know what you are talking about
6. Make one point per comment
7. Keep it short
8. Link carefully
9. Proof read
So the next time you leave a comment on a video, blog, or anything else use these rules from my Grammar Girl podcast!

New car?

Okay so I was so busy over spring beak and I totally spaced posting on my blog so I went back and watched a podcast from that week to report on now. Here it is...

Scientists at the University of Southern Mississippi developed a material that could possibly self heal scratches on cars when exposed to sunlight. So how does it work? When there is a scratch damaging a molecule, the octane ring opens. It has two reactive ends and when in sunlight cytosine breaks into two chains and generates free radicals. Then the cytosine links up with the reactive ends of octane and fill in the scratch. This is said to be more cost efficient for self healing. Interesting? I thought so...

Really?

This week I watched the most interesting podcast. It is from my 60 second Scientific American podcast. It stated that the faces we pull when we see something immoral or taste something awful, or are treated unfairly are similar.
Researchers from the University of Toronto state that our reactions to immorality and sour milk are very similar. Interesting? Yes, I think so. The researchers had people taste awful tasting beverages and showed them pictures of dog poop. The faces they pulled when tasting the drink, and looking at the picture were similar. Also they were treated unfairly during a game besides having the pissed off look on their face, they pulled faces similar to tasting an awful drink and seeing an immoral image. Now when you taste something awful, see something immoral, or are treated unfairly, think of the faces you are pulling!
