Now on ScienceBlogs: Q: How do you sex a Smilodon? (A: Very carefully)
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

Someone on the interwebz is being taken to task for some things that he wrote about women. Just that we can all be clear, other than commenting on the action, I had nothing to do with it. Not me, this...

As I begin to write this I am remembering that there is beer in the basement fridge. That's good, because I think I need one. Dr. Isis is not excelling at motherhood right now. At least my science is really...
