OK, gang, I know we’re on a shorter than normal interval here, but still — you haven’t been submitting enough stuff for the Tangled Bank. Write a science post right now and send a link to me. You can do it.

I’m impressed, and I’m not even an American….

Sorry PZ, you’re SOL from me. Your cat knows more about science than I do.

So, there doesn’t seem to be a lot going on in here. I’m hoping no one minds if I hijack this. There are likely more appropriate places for this, but the open threads aren’t very current.
How do people generally feel about taking a spouse’s surname upon marriage? I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do about that at this point, but I’d still like to hear more thoughts on it. In addition, and probably more importantly at this point (and relevant to hijacking a thread since info is hard to find…), how are the use of “pen names” in academia responded to? I have a rather peculiar idea for a surname merger, but the boyfriend has an abstract floating around with his name on it and sooner or later he’ll be publishing under that name. And should I end up in academia I’d probably prefer to publish with my current name. *Do* people keep personal and professional names? Is it very difficult to maintain/are there any serious problems? Any other thoughts?
Sorry again for the hijacking. I’m not sure how else I can find out about this. A lot of you seem to have relevant experience.
Many thanks
