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 have a serious post on being a woman in science for later today, but the Isises are getting ready to head to a colleague's house for the afternoon. The Easter bunny is making a stop at his place for...

I realize that today is a day of celebration for those of Irish descent. There are plenty of corned beef recipes around the science blogosphere if that's your shtick. Still, after one of the most brutal winters I have ever...
