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.

Hi, I'm Alice. It's been 11 days since I last blogged. Things have been busy over the last couple of weeks - even more than usual. I started listing out the stuff I've been doing, but rather than making me...
