ruOkay, friends list, I am siccing you on the interwebs.
Because one of my class sections is a late afternoon section, meaning it's composed largely of surly folks who want to go home, and the other section is an early morning section, meaning it's composed mainly of comatose folks who want to go back to bed, I want to find things to keep their attention with. In particular, I'd like to find some relevant sciencey comics to sprinkle throughout my presentations, but, unfortunately, I don't have the time to comb the internet to find them.
So, if anyone has any science comics they're particularly fond of, especially if there are any specific ecological comics (even if it's just one strip, or something) that spring to mind, I'd love a rec. I've already bookmarked Nearing Zero and I plan on using a couple xkcd comics. But if anyone has any others, let me know!
On a side note, one of the things we need to talk about during the next presentation is the idea of anthropomorphism, and that it needs to be avoided when talking science, especially when describing animal behavior. So I was thinking, as a silly example for anthropomorphism, I'd like to stick a lolcat in. So if anyone has a particular favorite lolcat picture involving a cat acting like a human (such as making a particular expression, or otherwise exhibiting behavior that's reinterpreted into human terms), please send it along! <3
