About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here? Let's talk. The other half of the equation is blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science, please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick.

I am mostly like the described male in that I go out to get what I need and get out. But I noticed that I switch to "shopping" when I am looking for something that I want but do not really need. For example, many years ago my car was totaled and I needed to get another fairly quickly. In that case I found an acceptable used one and bought it with almost no looking around. More recently I bought a new car which I did not really need (I could have bought another used one much cheaper). In this case I spent weeks looking around at all the different possibilities before I bought.
I wonder if the difference between men and women shopping is due to the difference in the types of unnecessary things they want rather than the shopping itself.
