Now on ScienceBlogs: Let the War on Christmas Begin. Atheist style.
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

I am sitting on a pile of Ask Dr. Isis letters that I swear are making me lose my faith in humanity. Why do none of you write to ask, "Why is my PI so awesome?" So, in order to...

Alright. After a few rounds of editing to sufficiently de-identify the student, here is our next question... Hi Dr. Isis, I'm looking for your thoughts, as a scientist, educator, and mother, on how to address some gender issues that seem...

Before I get down to business, I wanted to make some remarks about a post I a couple of days ago on having children and being exhausted. I really appreciate the frankness of the comments people left, but I suppose...
