Now on ScienceBlogs: The Chicago Tribune: Telling it like it is about the antivaccine autism "biomed" movement
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

Instead of working on my book chapter during the few free minutes I have before the onslaught of EB, I am sitting and drinking a scotch ale and reading blogs. I am not even at EB yet and I am...
