I've been off-and-on knitting a blanket for about 2 years now (I think). It's finally done! Hurray! It's warm and squishy, and I'm quite pleased with the pattern.

working girl
I'd like to do science writing. For a newspaper or magazine, my own books, what ever I can get. Publishers, however, are looking for experience, those jerks. And 5 years of writing, editing and reviewing manuscripts and grants doesn't seem to be enough. Granted, it is a bit different, but I know I can write. I know I can make science accessible to the non scientist and still interesting to someone who knows a bit about the subject to begin with. So I started a science writing blog. It'll be the practice and (hopefully) exposure I'll need to one day get to the all-too-impressive appearing on The Colbert Report to talk about my new book explaining such concepts as why I love, Love, LOVE Purell on the airplane after I see someone cough into Sky Mall but cringe, cringe, cringe when I think about superbacteria it's selecting for stage of my career.

Without further ado, here is my alter-ego the Master of Science. (Link is also to the right.)

hats!
Some friends are having a baby soonish so I made them a few winter hats for the baby. And now I'm bragging about them here. I know they aren't perfect (my first semi-complicated knitting projects) but I'm still proud. I just hope they like them.

First, a cherry pie hat. Pie hat!

Then a floppy hat with ear flaps. Ear flaps!

Oh, the bear stays with me. It's just a model.
