That's about my frustration level right now. And the worst part, I am completely dependent on others to change that. I don't like surprises out of your control but that figuratively take a hold of your balls and start squeezing.

Hang in there!

Or, as I always say: F_ck those mother-f'ers!

Well, it will work out fine in the end, I guess. But it's a bit stressful to get things arranged. Starting next week, I have to teach a class and attend another important meeting at the same time for 7 weeks. Moreover, I had a deadline 3pm today, however, the computer system that I depend on is so badly engineered and managed that it didn't work. Both things combined may lead to me graduating my own education one year later, which will cost me at least €6000,- and I don't have.

Brain scans can now tell almost exactly what you're thinking

Researchers at Princeton University have figured out how to use functional MRI scans to tell what's on your mind. They can't yet tell exactly what you're thinking about, but they can get close enough to distinguish whether you're thinking about (say) an animal as opposed to a vegetable.

The next step is to fine-tune this method to be sensitive enough to start being able to discern more and more specific categories, like "root vegetables" instead of just "vegetables" or "ungulates" instead of just animals. As for the future, the researchers have this to say:

"If we give way to unbridled speculation, one can imagine years from now being able to 'translate' brain activity into written output for people who are unable to communicate otherwise, which is an exciting thing to consider."

We love unbridled speculation around here, but if you use even less bridlement, there's also the possibility that this sort of tech could be used to read people's freakin' minds! Maybe for good, maybe for evil, but either way, it's no longer science fiction: just science.

Chemical process turns biological tissue completely transparent

Scientists from Japan's RIKEN Brain Science Institute have been testing a new chemical reagent called Scale that can make just about any kind of tissue more or less completely see-through. By using genetic modification to cause certain types of cells to fluoresce, it then becomes possible to generate exceptionally detailed and intricate images of even the most delicate biological structures

Now, who wants to be invisible?

Brutal. Sorry to hear it.
