holy sh%t!

So I'm reading Blue Lab Coats on my lunch break today, and I'm smiling because DrDrA has been (very deservingly) selected as one of the top 50 must-read female science bloggers. I was perusing the list, recognizing most of the names (I'm not as plugged into the geology women as I could be)... and then I came upon my own blog's name and did a double take. And then I came upon DrugMonkey's name and did another double take! (He deserves an honorary second X chromosome...) I'm startled and flattered to be in such incredible company (FSP! Isis! Rosie Redfield, a microbiologist that I've met in real life!). I will use this as motivation to blog more interestingly and regularly...

There are many blogs that I would have put on such a list before mine... including Professor in Training and Young Female Scientist, two women who are very frank about their trials and tribulations in our chosen profession.

As an aside, I'm visiting a lab this week which has blue lab coats, and they do look fabulous on all of the women here (the men don't seem to wear their lab coats).
