Science!

My grad school education socialized me into viewing myself as a social scientist, with all that that entailed. While this isn’t a view that is universally shared within the Communication Studies discipline, I feel validated in holding it this week as my research was written up in the pages of Scientific American. I am now, evidence suggests, officially a Scientific American.

My response has been to go around the house yelling “SCIENCE!” and then doing a very poor Thomas Dolby impersonation. And in putting in this link, I now realize that the reference is over a quarter-century old. Ouch. But finding out the name of the guy sampled in the song who actually yelled “SCIENCE!” makes it totally worthwhile.
