Trying to keep up with the blogs at ScienceBlogs is like trying to dig a hole in water, they have so many. But still I was surprised that I didn’t know about Science Woman. They just posted a very cool link of their blogroll which contains a zillion links to science/tech/engineering/math (STEM) blogs written by women.
It’s pretty good, but I noticed they are missing a few, so I sent them a comment about it (awaiting moderation as I write this). Here are the ones I read (or listen to):
- Pamela Gay’s Star Stryder and AstronomyCast
- Amanda Bauer’s AstroPixie
- Damaris B Sarria’s How I Am Becoming An Astronaut (actually I forgot to add Ms. Sarria’s blog, but it’s here now!)
- Carolyn Porco’s CICLOPS site (not strictly a blog, but c’mon).
- My old friend Carolyn Collins Petersen’s The Spacewriter
- [Edited: Oops! I forgot one!] Emily Lakdawalla at The Planetary Society Blog.
- Skepchick
- Teen Skepchick
- There’s also the new vodcast from Australia, The Skeptic Zone, which features Karen Stollznow, Kylie Sturgess, Amanda Rose, and Rachael Dunlop.
I bet I’ve missed some. If you know of more, send them to Science Woman! And let me know, too, because I have sooo much spare time to read more stuff added to my feed reader. 
Tip o’ the lab coat to ScienceGeekGirl.

Yeah, good links; I’ve been a regular reader of Astropixie’s, great blog.

>>science/tech/engineering/math (STEM)
So you’re saying they have nice STEMs?
September 25th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Don’t forget about the elegant and awesome Emily Lakdawalla.
September 25th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Oh criminy! Emily, of course!

Instead of digging a hole in water, try going to the Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand (North Island). There’s a beach there where you can dig down under the waterline and find some nice, warm water (heated by geothermal activity).

Oh my! How about the most awesome Kristen (Kiki) Sanford?

Yes, planetary.org & Emily. Came here to say that, now i can leave pleased that i’m not the only one who noticed it.
September 25th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Come to think of it, I only knew a handful of female-run blogs, and they’re all up there already.
September 25th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
I forgot an important one!
NASA Deputy Administrator Shana Dale!
September 25th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Yikes! I forgot Kiki too. That’s what I get for brainstorming for a few minutes and posting. And she’s a fellow Skeptologist!
I think I’ll wait and see what others come up with, gather them, and add them in.

thanks a bunch, phil!
enjoy the night skies for me! doesn’t look i’ll be seeing too many astronomical phenomena with my naked eyes over here in the UK
thats why i’m scurrying to finish some telescope proposals – tall, dark, and handsome mountains, here i come!

Oh – that should be http://educationalzone.wordpress.com – resources for the podcast that will help teachers and students who wish to use issues we raise in our show Skeptic Zone, with extended links to the ones we’ll post on the http://skepticzone.wordpress.com blog.

Did my earlier comment get through regarding spelling? It’s Dr Rachael DUNLOP.
My blog was included in the Women in STEM – Behavioral and Social Sciences section (probably more for my Psychology and Education research), but I must point out that all of the women in the Skeptic Zone have blogs.
Dr Karen Stollznow – skepbitch.wordpress.com.
Dr Rachael Dunlop with scepticsbook.com
And Amanda has flopearedmule.net
September 25th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
Oh, the talented co-star (who was interviewed by Skeptic Zone along with Dr Plait at Dragon*Con and will feature in a forthcoming episode) is the wonderful Dr Ginger Campbell, who has her own site (and a blog!) – that’s at http://docartemis.com/brainsciencepodcast.

Oops. Thanks PB. I corrected it.

Hey~! I’m a female mangaka with a new blog I just started called “There Are Four Lights”. I don’t think it counts as a science blog, but it might pass as sciencey, lol. My goal is to combine manga artwork with posts about science, skepticism, and geekalicous topics (maybe lure some anime fans to interests that don’t involve magic ninjas).
http://www.saramayhew.com/blog
So I supposed it’s a science appreciation blog with geekdom thrown it–and an attempt to show that not all us artist-types are woojuice drinking new agers.

You’ve left off Jennifer Oullette’s Cocktail Party Physics.
http://twistedphysics.typepad.com/cocktail_party_physics/
She rocks and is one of my favorite reads. (next to you, of course.)
September 25th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
well not maybe sciencey but skeptical
Skepicality(swoopy)
Skeptics guide to the universe(rebecca)

Davidlpf, Rebecca is the skepchick.

As an aside my 9 year old daughter had to perform a weather report as part of her geography project. The Headmaster told her she should be a Weather Girl when she leaves school. She looked at him scornfully and told him “No thank you. I’m gonna work for NASA!” ( me beams with pride )
