Hipster science
February 27, 2011
UPDATE 2/28/11: #hipsterscience shows no signs of slowing down.
I’m pretty sure it is all Zelnio’s fault:
kzelnio: I keep my pipettes in organic wool hand-woven napsacks made by local free range shepherds in Big Sur #hipsterscience
kzelnio: I hand grind organically grown fair trade red algae to make my agarose for electrophoresis. I don’t buy into “big agarose” #hipsterscience
kzelnio: I was into the coalescent before it went mainstream #hipsterphylogenetics
enniscath: Positive controls are waaaaay too conformist #hipsterscience
superkash: I use my own heirloom goat’s milk for blocking buffers. #hipsterscience
JoshRosenau: My primers are organically made by a guy I know. You wouldn’t have heard of him. #hipsterscience
drugmonkeyblog: You get a better shave with a blade you’ve freshly knapped from fair-trade, small producer obsidian @drisis #hipsterscience #hipsteranthro
upulie: I don’t publish on the “major journal” labels, I only tweet my work #hipsterscience
CMastication: My parents fund my research. #hipsterscience
noahWG: I discovered the Higgs boson, but fuck if I’m going to ruin it by telling others about it. #hipsterscience
talyarkoni: Hypothesis testing is for people who lack conviction. #hipsterscience
CBC_psi: My data don’t need to fit to your “model.” #hipsterscience
drugmonkeyblog: The Williamsburg Project was edgier RT @nwerneck @bjkraal: I liked Richard Feynman before he joined the Manhattan Project. #hipsterscience
bjkraal: I liked Richard Feynman before he joined the Manhattan Project. #hipsterscience
DrKlapperich: I’m writing a textbook. It’s self published #hipsterscience
dftchemist: If its not fortran 77 its not real code #hipsterscience
dr_leigh: the modern lab balance has only one pan. nowhere to put the mass standards… tragic. #hipsterscience
drugmonkeyblog: replication is for mainstreamers…I prefer to keep moving forward. #hipsterscience
ajebsary: I only publish in PLoS journals, out of principle. #OpenScience is my mantra and impact factor is for jokers. #HipsterScience
talyarkoni: Neuroscientists today have it easy with Brodmann Areas and stereotaxic coordinates. In my day, we used echolocation. #hipsterscience
anaturalstate: I use R for stats because Matlab is so corporate #hipsterscience
drugmonkeyblog: I know he went by Fred, I only use Burrhus to be ironic. #hipsterscience
CMastication My research question? You’ve never heard of it. #hipsterscience
drugmonkeyblog: Poser. I used the only lecture hall that still has chalkboards. RT @medscholaradaml overhead projector for my thesis defense #hipsterscience
medscholaradaml: Powerpoint? No thanks I’m using this overhead projector for my thesis defense #hipsterscience
TheAstronomist: I like galaxies the way they used to be long ago when they emitted their light, I don’t even care what they do now. #hipsterscience
drugmonkeyblog: I build my own electrophys rigs out of parts from RadioShack to remain authentic. #hipsterscience ..oh, wait http://bit.ly/ifs61w
ryneches: Published in PLoS One before everyone thought it was cool. #hipsterscience
dorsalstream: I only work with skinny genes. #hipsterscience
caruanascott: unless you take a day to equilibrate your phenol, extractions are just not very rewarding #hipsterscience
kzelnio My thermal cycler is a fixie #hipsterscience
jillahjillah: Negative reviews validate the innovative nature of my work #hipsterscience
catchpolenet: Infrared spectroscopy is a little passé. I’m thinking purples and browns. Brown goes with my man bag. #hipsterscience
para_sight: I only sequence the anti-sense strand; the conformists can work out the obvious, maybe #hipsterscience
AgileRoxy: I converted my lab notebook to QR codes. #hipsterscience
westius: I like my chemistry organic #hipsterscience
cambrianexplode: Evolution? I like the early stuff but it’s all gotten so predictable now. #hipsterscience
drugmonkeyblog: It’s just more authentic to pipette by mouth. #hipsterscience

I am ethically opposed to regression analysis. R^2 and p values only serve to confine data points into an overcrowded best-fit line. Data points should be allowed to roam free! (Across 10 standards of deviation at the least.) Stop the cruelty!

I breed my mice at home, home-birth is just so much more natural. I still feel like a bit of a corporate tool though, model organisms are just so mainstream.

I do all my citations by hand because Endnote is too high tech. And a little suffering makes the final paper more authentic.
