A scientist and an engineer being the change we want to see
ScienceWoman is an 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.

I've got a lot of posts gestating in my head, but right now my fingers are busy grading papers and writing lectures. But I promise you that I will get a decent post out later this week.
And to keep you checking back...I promise that soon, very soon, there's going to be a big exciting announcement in this space. I think you'll be very excited. I am.
YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

yeah, ScienceMama's right. You can't tell us there's something exciting to announce and then not announce it!

You're going to stop blogging so much boring 'mommy stuff'?
Posted by: bob | February 6, 2008 6:10 PM
I hope Bob's joking. I don't think you blog much mommy stuff, and I really enjoy reading about it when you do.
Posted by: Nerida | February 6, 2008 6:45 PM
It's my blog so I can do what I want! Mwahaha.
Actually the timing of the announcement is not totally mine to control. So I'll tell y'all as soon as I've got a green light.
And ignore Bob. Bob is a troll. I've dealt with him before. If he thinks my blogging is boring, he doesn't have to read it.

Are we allowed to guess? If so, my prognostication is a fully bipedal minnow.
Posted by: Lab Lemming | February 7, 2008 3:35 AM
Oh Lemming, that's a sweet guess, but its old news. Minnow's been walking for a month.
Posted by: ScienceWoman | February 7, 2008 7:43 AM
A little brother for Minnow, maybe?

That's kind of what I was thinking, justapie!
Posted by: LM | February 7, 2008 10:45 AM
I want to know too! But even without knowing, if you're happy about it sciencewoman, I'm happy for you, so yeah for you (but tell us soon please! :))
Oh, and I think bob has it all wrong too

lets think, you're going to start blogging in your own name after you get approval from your head of school?
Or...you're bringing on a second blogger?
Or...you've been abducted by aliens, now firmly believe in creationism and are going to brainwash us all as soon as PZ gives you the green light?
Posted by: Propter Doc | February 7, 2008 11:02 AM
I wasn't trying to imply that PZMyers was an alien. I know which of you sciblings are aliens, just so you know, and it is Chris Rowan for sure.
Posted by: Propter Doc | February 7, 2008 11:03 AM
Oooh, this is so exciting. Yay, for whatever it is. I'm glad to hear it's something you're excited about.
Posted by: saxifraga | February 7, 2008 11:22 AM
Bob can suck it. I want MORE boring 'mommy stuff.'
Posted by: ScienceMama | February 7, 2008 11:25 AM
I wondered about a sibling, too, but also thought it might be too soon for that. What ever is, congratulations and don't leave us in suspense too long!
Posted by: Addy N. | February 7, 2008 12:10 PM
excited already, and guessing along the lines of justapie, though that would have been fast given your recent report on bodily fluids...
Posted by: Amelie | February 7, 2008 12:12 PM
I'm glad y'all are having fun guessing. My friend Annie said that everyone would think I was pregnant. For the record, I'm not. But keep guessing...
Posted by: ScienceWoman | February 7, 2008 12:25 PM
>>" . . . I will get a decent post out . . . "
Well, how about an _indecent_ post, then?
Posted by: paul | February 7, 2008 1:10 PM
Does your announcement involve a book or other publication? Or a job?
Posted by: trillwing | February 7, 2008 1:45 PM
Minnow has her driver's license?
