Friday SNPpets
Welcome to our Friday feature link collection: SNPpets. During the week we come across a lot of links and reads that we think are interesting, but don’t make it to a blog post. Here they are for your enjoyment…
- RT @dullhunk: Waiting for @ewanbirney to reply to a tweet is like waiting for #godot, so I’ve gone ahead & added a mugshot to http://t.co/gIa2XTa5 [Mary]

- I woke up this morning to European outrage over a new campaign to lure women to science (seemingly that’s the idea, it’s hard to know). I haven’t seen YouTube down votes of that ratio since the last creationist claptrap scientists sent around. Follow commentary with #sciencegirlthing for wry humor, including: @edyong209: Actual LOL.

@OctoberJones That Science girl video was the result of a long development process. The original idea: twitpic.com/9z7jns [Mary] - The actual horrible video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZtMmt5rC6g
