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 )

You’ve left off Jennifer Oullette’s Cocktail Party Physics.

She rocks and is one of my favorite reads. (next to you, of course.)

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).

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Come to think of it, I only knew a handful of female-run blogs, and they’re all up there already.

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).
