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

The Journal of Applied Physiology takes care of your need for regular scientific snark with their Point-Counterpoint series. Each issue (JAP is monthly) includes this written debate between two laboratories with different views on a particular issue. Each group gets an initial statement, a rebuttal, and then a final statement, for a total of six letters per issue plus additional letters from other laboratories that may weigh in
