So on the bottom of our posts is a helpful little note that says "posted by" and either Alice or SW, as the case may be. We also occasionally tag our posts as coming from either Alice or ScienceWoman. And yet, it may be confusing who is speaking when, especially for those folks reading the blog with RSS feeds. So, taking a page from Shelley and Steve over at Two Minds, we're going to try to mark the beginning of our posts with a little icon from our profile photos. Voila. Let us know if this makes things better, or if it is really irritating. Thanks.

For the past week, we've been conducting a little experiment with Cognitive Daily. In the past, we've had several readers complain that we don't include the full post in the RSS feed for CogDaily, so last week we published every post in its entirety on RSS (if you don't know what RSS is, I explain…
During my winter blogging break, I thought I'd repost of few of my "greatest hits" from my old blog, just so you all wouldn't miss me so much. This one is from September 24, 2007. This post follows up on my initial 2007 post which I reposted yesterday.
It's worth noting that the blog has evolved…
So, we may have mentioned we're going to ScienceOnline 2009, which starts on Friday; ScienceWoman and I have our respective sessions on Saturday with our respective co-facilitators.

The proximate cause of this is Bora's latest blame-the-media post, which is just deja vu all over again, because I'm pretty sure this exact conversation has gone on ten times before (the fact that scientists find other scientists compelling speakers does not…
So helpful! Thank you! When I read from RSS, obviously I have to click over to read the whole post but when I start reading, it's always confusing if it isn't blatantly obvious from the beginning who is writing.
I haven't had any trouble identifying each of your posts.
I read via rss and appreciate this.
This is a good idea. It's not too hard to figure out who is writing, but the icon makes a big difference. Thanks!
Great! It was really quite confusing in the RSS feeds..
It makes things much, much easier for me.
It is fantastic! I too struggled with working out who you were on RSS. Thanks! And we all know what posts are physioprofs over at DrugMonkey...can't imagine what gives it away.
This is great, thanks.
I read via RSS and while I can usually figure out who is posting, I really like the new icons!
Okey dokey then - glad the new format helps! We will carry on. :-)
SO much better! I always click over because the whole post doesn't show in bloglines, but I'm always confused at first because I don't think your writing styles are so different. In fact I'd been hoping you'd do this since you started blogging together. Thanks.
