Scorpion: We’re Conflicted

October 8, 2014 by Bitter SciTech Leave a Comment

While watching the third episode of Scorpion, I realized that I have no idea whether I like this show or not. Last week’s biotech episode was disappointing.

Check Out This Hot New Dinosaur With the Murderously Large Sexy Nose

September 23, 2014 by Bitter SciTech 1 Comment

Meet King Nose…Although he prefers his more formal title Rhinorex condrupus, esq., thanks much. Rhinorex was found in Utah’s Neslen formation – in 1991.
