Self-irony

From time to time one has to be a little bit self-ironic... Just to show that we are not completely serious about everything and about our sufferings in the male scientific world... But - just like the self-irony of Cyrano de Bergerac - this kind of self-deprication is only allowed for us, for women in science, but never for male scientists...

The scientific Mother's day

Yes, this is life, real life... when the mother is a biologist... Next years we'll see what happens if she is a chemist, a physicist, a historian, linguist, psychologist or any kind of scientist... Not only the mother, but the family also has to live in an inspiring scientific environment...

Birthday present for a boss interested in evolutionary biology

Yes, small little presents just warm the heart like this...

Easter bunny comic strip 2.

After such a successful applied grant project, bosses have a tendency to consider themselves as real experts in such topics. And if they had so much money once, they will for sure give it another try... Happy Easter to everyone, even to the Easter bunnies!

Easter bunny comic strip 1.

Easter is getting close. So I decided to include two comic strips (the next will be posted next week) about great ideas related to grant proposals of applied science... Of course this is just a joke related to Easter, but in fact this is not so far away from reality. Often great scientists doing basic research, but desperately hunting for money and thus starting to make applied science have similar proposals and ideas...

Importance of first words

Mothers often think that they should boast of everything their babies do... This is the same for women in science, but the story is a little bit more complex in our little laboratory...

Flattering the boss

Recently I participated in the description of a scientifically completely novel species... The cartoon is partially related to it, but fortunately we found a better way to name it... However, this way I can go on to introduce you my comic strip heroes and make you know them better...
