Note to Self:

Science isn't a methodology.  It's a process, perhaps, but a messy one.  Don't let the men in tight pants and whigs nail you down to their mechanical clockwork universe. Science is the art of observation, ping-ponging back and forth between asking questions and observing data and making conclusions (that are often hypothesis).  Sometimes the "experiment" is first or last or middle.  If science were a narrative, it would be a postmodern one - like Memento.  If Joel and Micah have taught you anything, it's that science doesn't have to happen in a lab.  It doesn't always require goggles and lab coats.  Sometimes it's about
