Yay! I've read Soulless and loved it, and having been meaning to read the rest of the series. So now I have an excuse.

I still love this movie.

I don't usually use Sex and the City as an example, but it did make me think of Charlotte and Harry and when she got mad and said something like "Don't you know what people think when they see us together?" and he got all sad and replied, "Yes, but I didn't know you also thought that way."

I think it's going to be a slower process to get more women PIs just because faculty never retire, but I am hopeful that it will change.

But what about at the higher levels? Are your PIs also split evenly?

I just can't stand the name. And I had to hear her talk about it all the time.

The info-graphic image used here is set to disability, if you go to the source you can change it to death, and lower back pain doesn't show up. It's actually really interesting to look at, both the differences between men and women, and between different countries/regions.

Ugh, I have a co-worker who does this all the time. Everything I've done, she's also done, everything I've experienced she's experienced, and it was worse/better for her.

One of my friends did the honeymoon registry fund thing. I couldn't bring myself to donate to it. It was called HoneyFund....I don't know why the name bothered me so much, but I just couldn't do it. I gave money instead.

True. I have friends working on using different vector systems. And although there are still a lot of worries about site specificity, there have been some success stories. There was the trial to treat individuals with Leber congenital amaurosis which cause blindness during early childhood, and as far as I'm aware…

That's why it's really important to pick your viral vectors carefully. Some vectors are prone to inserting into areas of active chromatin, which is where they can integrate in a way to turn off tumor suppressors or activate oncogenes. But there are viral vectors out there that are more prone to integration into…

I got married during the second year of my PhD. I know it's hard, and you'll be living off of a shitty stipend and be stressed out. But take it all one step at a time. Food for my wedding was the major expense, I think the catering was close to 30-40% of my budget, but I picked a venue where I could bring in my…

That's exactly what my husband and I did for our wedding. We didn't want a cash bar but couldn't afford a full bar with liquors. So we picked out a red, white and sparkling and made sure to get enough bottles. Then we picked out a couple beers to have as well. There was plenty of alcohol, for a fraction of the…

Gifts are not mandatory. I say this as someone who has been married and planned their wedding. I never expected presents from everyone. I just wanted my friends and family to celebrate an important occasion with me.

It's near the olive oil. You can actually cook with it as well.

I kind of like the frosty one as well. Mostly because I could make my own pretty easily, just need a white dress, some fish nets (check), little bow tie and top hat and 3 black fuzzy pompoms.

Maybe she thought at the beginning of the night that she wanted to and than changed her mind. It's possible that after getting down to the underwear stage that things were moving too fast, or she wasn't feeling well, or was now too tired or too drunk or too full and just wanted to make out.

When I was in second grade it became the "thing" to have lots of best friends. But then it became hard to stop. So suddenly all the girls in my class were my "best" friends. Which meant that the girls I was closest to wanted to be my "best-best" friend. And then that got out of control. So then everyone was…

It's assumed that women are naturally more nurturing. It stems from the same place that believes teaching and nursing are women's jobs, but being a doctor or a professor are men's jobs.

Hee, yeah. And my husband is very tolerant of my cruising through crowds.
