A scientist and an engineer being the change we want to see
ScienceWoman is a first-year assistant professor in -ology. She blogs about the intersection of science and real life - primarily based on her first-hand experiences. Her older posts can be found here.
Alice Pawley is an assistant professor of engineering education at Purdue University. She blogs at the intersection of women's studies and engineering, a pretty empty space but with potential to grow. She wants to be a feminist-but-tenured professor when she grows up.

There. Now I've contributed to the clogging of the internet with another pointless youtube video. Don't I feel special.
But I thought that readers of this blog might enjoy seeing Minnow's newfound ability to walk. She was starting to take tentative steps in mid-December, but the fluid in her ears really set her back for a while. Nonetheless, the urge to walk is strong, and by New Year's day she was able to walk from one side of a room to another.

I just love how she looks right into the camera at the end! Go Minnow!

Oh wow. Love the little glam-shot at the end too, like it was all a performance for the camera.
Go Minnow!

Hooray, Minnow!
You're really in for some fun/trouble now, SW!

This is just too cute, and she really knows how to work the camera :)

thats awesome! My son started walking at 9 months, way too early for us! My daughter is now 9 months and walking around the furniture, but has yet to make the plunge without support.
Doesn't having kids make science seem a little less serious and tolerable?
