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.

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…
Check it out: Scienceblogging.org. On twitter too!
Thanks to Dave Munger, Bora Zivkovic and Anton Zuiker for coming up with what we've all been waiting for -- a way to keep track of all the new science blogging networks that have been sprouting up everywhere lately.
From Bora's Drumroll, please!…
I keep getting asked: why should I participate in blog carnivals?
The Wikipedia page about blog carnivals is not really accurate (it includes things that are not carnivals), and also suffers from overzealous, obsessive-compulsive, self-important administrators (who have probably never seen a…
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…
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.
