Now on ScienceBlogs: Oxytocin: Starting with the basics
A scientist and an engineer being the change we want to see
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.
SciWo is an assistant professor of geosciences. She blogs about the intersection of science and real life - primarily based on her first-hand experiences. Her older posts can be found here.
Read our kickoff post.
Thanks!
