Remember that grant proposal I was freaking out about last week? I submitted it with plenty of time to spare and started on another one.  The one I’m working on now is kind of a big deal.  So far, things are going slowly because I’m so darn intimidated.

Luckily, the blog of Dr. Isis, the domestic and laboratory goddess is a confidence booster/kick-in-the-ass, especially her many advice columns.  I think my absolute favorite post by Dr. Isis is Trampy Toys and What We Tell Our Daughters, but I also love her comments on the day to day life of a scientist who also happens to have a vagina.
