The Egyptian goddess Isis was celebrated as the ideal wife and mother. The blogger known as Dr. Isis has some fancy-sounding degrees and is a physiologist at a major research university working on some terribly impressive stuff. She blogs about balancing her research career with the demands of raising small children, how to succeed as a woman in academia, and anything else she finds interesting. Also, she blogs about shoes. In fact, she blogs a lot about shoes.


...And behold, he raised the motherfucking Jameson on high as Isis bedecked her feet in glory, and the masses were sated. -- The Holy Gospel According to PhysioProf

State of the Award...

Posted on: March 26, 2009 9:34 AM, by Isis the Scientist

I wanted to offer you all a brief update on the status of funding our APS award with your clicks. After the first week I will tell you this -- you folks are amazing and I encourage you to keep visiting with exactly the same, or even a slightly higher, frequency. You are far surpassing anything I could have anticipated, but we're only a week into this little project.

I can tell you this, though. If you keep visiting the way you are now (or maybe one extra click more a day to help a sister out? or maybe you would tell one friend about the blog?) we're going to be able to do something much bigger than I initially anticipated we would. Much.

As a devout member of the Church of Isis, this bear will attempt to do her part for such a worthy cause!

It helps that you are posting, like, once every 5 minutes. I click on every post, and then click some more. :) I'm glad the pace is going well.

And are those 'ones' or 'twentys' or 'benjamins' or what all bundled up there..?? Looks like a DEA pub photo after busting some low-level seller...

Isis: if you have grant money from NIH, there's another way to fund a student (and you can get a teacher, too!)
