well, that was certainly a Monday
Feb. 27th, 2012 08:23 pmThings that are excellent about this Monday:
1. Pilates, which released my entire back right down to my hips. After a weekend of grading and snow shoveling, people, I needed that.
2. First appointment with a highly recommended cranial-sacral massage therapist this week YAY.
3. E home a week from Wednesday!!!!!!!eleven!! omg. He's been gone a while.
4. Got invited to join a cohort alliance in an ADVANCE grant*.
5. Recently, in SherlockBBC fandom, I have been reading ALL THE THINGS. Or, well, all the things that come recommended already. Thanks to a couple of calls for recs on the old reading circle, I found some great stuff recently. See this compliation post for details.
6. Salieri made me a Watson icon! See the Dreamwidth version of this post to view! (also, I, er, seem to have let my paid memberships lapse to everything. I didn't mind at all until I wanted to upload new icons. Drat. Paid again at DW, then.
*ADVANCE is a grant through the US Nat. Sci. Foundation that is trying to encourage and support more women in the sciences. To wit, funding to go to meetings, organization so we talk to each other, introduction to 4-5 other women at your career level in your field, who are likely quite far afield and so, thus, the funding to meet up once a year at professional meetings. Currently, in chemistry, women make up 13% of the faculty, with 99% of chemistry departments having no or only one woman at a full professor position (senior faculty). This is quite an awesome grant to essentially forge an old girls network.
