How to start up your laboratory homepage - how to do some personal branding (Ego-boost) in science as a BOSS

Maybe this cartoon is not that funny for most of us. But just recently I realized that this is how it works and finally, deep inside there are lots of ridiculous things in it. Most scientists use their homepage to boost their Ego further and further and to outline their own importance, greatness - briefly, to build their own CULT OF PERSONALITY... (Not on a Stalin level, but similar to it on their local scale.) P.S.: My dear scientist friends, if you are reading this blog and finding some criticism in these words - please take it easy, and do not hesitate to criticize me if my Ego would become too overpowering one day. PS2: I know that you have read this comment, because you've changed your homepage, great!

Scientific Easter Preparations - Painting Eggs Quiz with the Scientific Mum (a microbiologist)

And the last one for this Easter is this one about the microbiologist...

Scientific Easter Preparations - Painting Eggs Quiz with the Scientific Mum (a physicist)

The next one with the physicist... The one who feeds the kids with Bridgman's eggs :-).

Scientific Easter Preparations - Painting Eggs Quiz with the Scientific Mum (a chemist)

Another one of this series now about celebrating Easter with a Scientific Mom :-)...

Scientific Easter Preparations - Painting Eggs Quiz with the Scientific Mum (a plant biologist)

Well, scientists have to make some scientific vulgarisation... And it is of course best to start it within the family... Kids are in general quite open for such things (unlike adults...) And it is so fun... The next quiz will be about the chemist mother... (and so on, and maybe later also on where to find these dyes...)

Baby names for philosophers... (part I probably)

I had some rest concerning my blogging activity recently. I decided it after having read this article in Nature and especially some comments about women who need also some time to live their lives instead of doing blogging. (Women have the kids, the housework, often a husband as well, they also have their scientific carreer and they also need some rest and sleeping hours, so the blogging is sometimes the last on the priority list...) I did not have too much feedback for this blog, in addition, I have the impression that my drawings are only accidentally viewed, so I did not get enough encouragement to spend so much time on the blog at the moment. We'll see...

Scientific baby formulae - your child's first molecular kit

I found out that since Baby Boo the baby formula industry has developed a lot and now the latest products also include nucleotides... I really have the feeling of taking part in some scientific experient and feeding my kids with some molecular kits...
