I'm a first-year female grad student in a traditionally male-dominated field (though it's becoming much less so in recent years). Your blog has not only enlightened me on various aspects of academia, but also shown me what life may be like for my advisor (who is male, but I think there are many common concerns). I do wish that you will keep blogging, because, like others have pointed out, your blog is one of the best (if not THE best) academic blogs out there.

And, as GMP said, you do this from the perspective of a physical scientist. The blogosphere is chock full of biomedical bloggers discussing the details of NIH R2D2 grants. Very few physical scientists are out there discussing what you discuss. I'm not sure that I've ever seen a biomedical blogger say much about teaching undergrads. Also, the blogosphere is chock full of R1 folks with an R1 mindset; you are one of the few academic science bloggers to blog from an R1 while also frequently discussing your experiences as a student and at a SLAC, as well as your experiences teaching at a SLAC before moving to the R1 world. It's just a totally different perspective on academia than we'd get from the rest of the academic science blogosphere. Though I'm at neither a SLAC nor an R1, a lot of what you blog about resonates with my own work, and reinforces how many issues and concerns academics have in common.<br /><br />There's really nobody else who does what you do.

I also feel there aren't many physical science academic bloggers, especially senior ones; you have addressed some important topics in the physical sciences culture that no one else has tackled, and you have always done so with deep insight and humor. <br /><br />I hope you will keep blogging, even if less frequently. The scientific/academic blogosphere would not be the same without your voice.GMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872461021953583473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-16479085826767652602011-05-31T09:40:10.802-05:002011-05-31T09:40:10.802-05:00FSP: you have walked me from a 2nd year postdoc to...FSP: you have walked me from a 2nd year postdoc to an assistant professor applying for tenure this year.

You are the last or first bit of my daily reading, depending on the time I go to sleep.

I confess that I have only recently started reading your blog because I've got to a stage where I've just become a "real" and "full" female science professor myself (albeit in the UK system). I'm not very angry but there are moments when I want to throw things (unlike the women in yesterday's blog). It's the best thing in my day at the moment as it gives me a little space to think about the bigger picture and consider whether my actions and role can be used to help other people's battles. I confess to being a little dismayed at hearing you consider what to do with your multiple identities - I think FSP is great and inspiring (but I read both!). However, I understand that it must now be taking up a lot of your time and you have other adventures to have too. I'd settle for a slightly less regular blog as a compromiseScience Professor Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915950640084123543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-85260614786615938912011-05-31T02:37:24.835-05:002011-05-31T02:37:24.835-05:00What do you prefer about the Blogger interface for...What do you prefer about the Blogger interface for authors?
