Grant evaluation...

Sorry, I am busy with some projects, so I had not too much time to go on with different stories... I just finish the story about the chocolate egg-laying rabbits and the grant applications... Finally the research group gets back the evaluation of the second applied science project about producing white chocolate egg-laying rabbits...

Chemistry from TV ads - special comic strip dedicated to the International Year of Chemistry :-)

In general (women) scientists have no time for TV... However, during maternity leave they may switch on the black (grey) box more often... This is how they can get inspired for comic strips while listening to such intelligent washing powder ads... (In this particular one they claim that their washing powder is much better than all the other powders on the market, because it contains intelligent molecules that can fight and remove all kind of stains...)

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...
