If You're Feeling All Alone — You're Not. Science Says So Artwork

Here's A Thought

A blogcast for people who overthink. I'm Jan M. Flynn, a writer who thinks way too much about all kinds of things, so I know what that's like. Sometimes you need a little break from your brain — so here's a chance to get out of your own head for a bit, by getting into mine. Short, weekly episodes give you a glimpse into what's been on my mind: thoughts about life, the universe, and the weird or wonderful things people do. Occasionally I'll share some short fiction or poetry. Think of this as recess for your mind. Join me on my website at www.JanMFlynn.net, where you can leave a comment or suggestion on my blog page, and join my email list and receive a free download of my audio short story, "The Collector".

If You're Feeling All Alone — You're Not. Science Says So

This week, we give thought to how much of us is really "us" — turns out it's way less than we thought. You really do contain multitudes.

Pardon a few technical glitches this week, thanks to a crabby audio system and a very tight schedule due to travel. Or just pretend I have hiccups.

First complete human genome sequence

"Dr. Martin Blaser on sacred cows, ear infections and the nature of science"
by Ashton Applewhite, American Museum of Natural History magazine

Archaea (they're not bacteria!)

Really cool if slightly horrifying PBS video on Demodex
