Do you love to eat? Or do you not love your food enough?

OMG, teh blags aspoloded! And it’s all revolving around Dr. Isis. I urge everyone to check out Bora’s post, it generated some great discussion and it appears that people are friendly again. And Bora said nice things about me, which I always urge people to read.
It’s that time again! What time is it? It’s time for Sci to give Journal Club. I know, it just happened. But I’m a relatively senior grad student, and our Journal Club is very small, so it happens fairly often. And so, I need your help. Luckily, this time I have narrowed the field to two possibilities, which is especially good as I have about three days to put it together. In fact, both of these papers I got from posts by other lovely ScienceBloggers, though unfortunately I do not recall which ones. I owe you hat tips!
So which one? Which one? Here I present to you the first option:
Stice et al. “Relation between obesity and blunted striatal response to feed is moderated by Taq1A A1 Allele” Science, 2008.

Notes of importance

Happy Monday! Well, for Sci, it is unhappy Monday. She had a super-crazy weekend, is not remotely caught up with work, and is feeling the pain of sleep deprivation. You know, when you’re really tired, piles of papers look kind of like pillows… If anyone wants to rub her little cyber-feet and make her a hot cup of cyber-hot chocolate with some liquor in it, she would be SO happy…
