Originally published on April 26, 2009 How to brew beer in a coffee maker, using only materials commonly found on a modestly sized oceanographic research vessel has been one of our most popular posts. Over the past year, through experimentation and advice from fellow scientists and brewers, I’ve modified the recipe. The biggest criticism was that in order to make good beer, you needed to smuggle hops aboard. “Well, if you can bring hops aboard” they ask, “what’s to stop you from bringing any other brew supplies aboard?” The answer is nothing. So we went back to the brew pot, experimented with new reagents, and bring you now the definitive guide to brewing beer in a coffee maker, using only materials commonly found on a modestly sized oceanographic research vessel.

Even though my Steelers weren’t in it this year, I watched the Super Bowl last night. I suppose that we have to let other teams win occasionally. I was disappointed by the ads this year overall (though the milkaholic E-trade baby and the Dorito’s ninja were awesome), but one in particular caught my attention. Is … Read More “Audi’s Green Police Ad” »

We’ve replaced the old “walkway through swamp” header with a series of rotating headers highlighting different aspects of our lives and sciences. Since, we’re throwing out the old site and bringing you a bigger, stronger, faster, smarter Southern Fried Science, I’d thought I’d take this opportunity to show off the new headers and give y’all a little insight into our reasons for using these images:

My contribution to Bluegrass Blue Crab’s Ocean Story Slam. Of course, since I’m also a judge, this technically doesn’t count. Some stories are just too fun not to tell, this is not one of them. So consider this my gift to you: ~Southern Fried Scientist

We know you all have good stories from the field, of your crazy colleagues, or simply of what crazy shenanigans happen in otherwise tedious lab time. Not to mention, your actual research should be tell-able in story form, so…
In the honor of narratives in science, I propose an OCEAN STORY SLAM!
Plus, I know you all love competitions.
Curious? Check out my intro at YouTube. Please submit yours in reply.
What is a story slam, you ask?
