When Alice and I teamed up last month, we realized that we needed a new name - one that was inclusive of both of our identities and reflects where we want this blog to go. Today, we're proud to unveil that new name and a new banner to go along with it.
From here on out, this blog is...
Sciencewomen
A scientist and an engineer being the change we want to see

Congratulations to Makita for being the first to suggest the name. She'll be receiving a Sb mug as her prize, just as soon as I find her address. And if any of you creative souls want to come up with a better banner for us, we'd love to display it.

Hello, and welcome to the November edition of Scientiae! The month of October was filled with tricks and treats galore; costumes were donned, and a rollicking good time was had by all. Or at least most. Or some. Anyway, read along to find out who got treated, who got tricked, and who's still…
Alice Pawley is a woman in a man's world, but that's not going to be the case for long if she has anything to do with it. As an assistant professor of engineering education at Purdue University, she knows firsthand the barriers facing women in the hard sciences, so it was only natural for her to…
It is my great pleasure to announce that "On Being a Scientist and a Woman" has a co-blogger debuting today. Alice Pawley is a first-year faculty member in engineering education at Purdue University, and she'll bring a wonderful new dimension to the stories on the blog. Alice and I "met" on the '…

Fabulous! I love the tagline! The banner is perfect.
I like the banner, too. One typographical subtlety: I think "being" is a little too small.
I miss Minnow! Can she get a picture as a contributor?
ScienceMama: I miss Minnow too. I'll have to see what I can arrange to make her visage present on the page.
I love it! I'd make "being" larger, too, because that's what I love about you two!
Woo-hoo! Great name, perfectly descriptive! You two rock!
I love the new name! I am glad you went positive.
Love it!
What a nice name, if I say so myself! Actually, it seemed so natural, I'm surprised I was the first to suggest it. And the description is great too.
I like the name -- particularly the subtitle.
Great new title, well done! Keep on the good blogging!
