I think I've shared either here or on the old blog that part of what led me to a career in science was a love as a child of taking things apart. I took apart my father's clock radio, the oven in our kitchen, and I used to love spending time in the garage with my father while he worked on our cars. I still love to build things and I take great pride in knowing what a carrier demodulator is. That's a sexy word if I've ever heard one.
But I'm not the only bad ass science chick who likes to get her hands dirty and fix stuff. See:
Figure 1: One of Dr. Isis's bad ass science chick readers after being elbows deep in an automobile. I've Photoshopped the background a bit to obscure our fair heroine's secret identity.
And speaking of ultra-cool, bad ass science chicks, one of Dr. Isis's loyal readers,
In all seriousness, if you teach physiology and aren't reading this, go check it out. If you're a student studying physiology and want new ways to help understand the material, go check it out.
Thanks for this pics, ladies! You rule!

I've always been a how-stuff-works kind of gal too. The same reason why I ended up studying physiology, and also why I too love getting right in there working on my car (except yesterday I was hauling out it's engine and gearbox unfortunately :( )

Jewelry and auto maintenance = bad idea.
Other than that . . .way cool as always.
Gimme a girl that can check the fluids, pump it up, top it off, and all the rest and I am happy.

Ladies with greasy hands are my type of ladies.
Isis, how about teaching your Pope some science. He either has bad science advisors or he is a lier.

How do you know whether or not the Pope's science advisors read your blog? I thought that as a devout Catholic scientist you would have more influence with his advisors than an advisor such as PZ or any other atheistic scientist.
