My online nosey-ing has evolved to include a lot more science of late – now that I’m splitting my time between university and S&F stuff.
I’ve noticed quite a cat theme too, both seem to be everywhere. Lecture notes lie next to pictures of pot bellied Toms and at the end of long days I’ve seen Siamese patterns squished into the inferior surface of the Hippocampus. Plus I found myself reading about how Ben ‘Bad Science’ Goldacre acquired an American Association of Nutritional Consultants “certified professional membership” on behalf of his late cat, Henrietta too. It’s like I’ve become the new Murakami protagonist. What does it all mean?
Another such coincidence I thought i’d share sprung from a lecture I had the other day on clinical reasoning (swamps, marshes and conditional, interactive stuff) and they were talking about how they’d stuck a load of cameras on a bunch of Occupational Therapists heads to understand their reasoning. There was a bit more to it than that, but it got me thinking about a fella i’d read about called Mr Lee. Lee makes little cameras to put on feline necks, so that their owners can track what they’ve been up to. It’s a wonderful piece of kit (ahem, kat) called a cat-cam.
If you’d like to order one for a cat fanatic pal for Christmas you can get one here or for the catless amongst you there’s the Cat-Cam calender ‘beyond the cat flap’ to paw over.
