Um, seeing as I'm out in Hollywood...well, I guess this came along at the right time. I am part of the "cast" for a docu entitled (for now) Weather Movie. (I hope they keep the title, tones of Scary Movie.) I will be playing myself. This is something I do all the time--sometimes more convincingly than others. But never before, at least to my knowledge, have I gotten into the Internet Movie Database for it.

The theme of this month's Scientiae carnival is "Added Weight: Taking up Space." This theme is very timely for me, since I've been thinking about this topic lately---a lot. And, readers of the old blog may remember that my "theme" for the year is FEARLESS. Well, you can't really be fearless if…
Am I a scientist? It seems like a simple question requiring little more than a "yes" or "no", yet I am at a loss as to how to answer it. Even though I have been called a scientist by people I respect I cannot bring myself to use the term to describe myself.
It is not that I am holding onto some…
Sure, the field days sound exciting and magical, don't they? So, of course, it's hard not to want to paint the picture that that is what it's like to be a marine biologist. But I don't get to do that kind of work often. Here's an average day in my life, a work day, is like:

The series of interviews with some of the participants of the 2008 Science Blogging Conference was quite popular, so I decided to do the same thing again this year, posting interviews with some of the people who attended ScienceOnline'09 back in January.
Today, I asked one of my SciBlings and…
How many degrees of separation to Kevin Bacon?
I had the same thought as Mike when I saw the feed, but since I was needing an excuse to procastinate, I tried some research. The Oracle of Bacon was not directly helpful, so I had to look at IMDB. I don't know what kind of participation and/or film is needed for bonna fide links, but being cavalier we get:
Chris Mooney (II)----Stephen Schneider (through Weather Movie)
Stephen Schneider----Leonardo DiCaprio (through The 11th Hour, who narrated the docu)
and the Oracle adds DiCaprio - Martin Sheen - Kevin Bacon.
That would give you a Bacon number of 4 (in fact, that's a lower bound).
If being a narrator doesn't count, then you can skip DiCaprio and use the Simpsons instead:
Chris Mooney (II) / Stephen Schneider / Stephen Hawking / Nancy Cartwright / Kevin Bacon
