Welcome Our New Colleague: Jessica Palmer!
February 7, 2008
Jessica Palmer’s outstanding Bioephemera blog has just joined the Scienceblogs consortium, and it is a great addition. Jessica will be blogging on all sorts of cross-cutting science- and art-related topics. Bioephemera also has some regular commenters who will add to the diversity of perspectives here, including one who quipped about the move:
Ah … science people … (roll eyes) !
Seriously, it is going to be a lot of fun to have Bioephemera here, so please check it out!
And one last thing: Jessica is also an outstanding painter. A bunch of her amazing work is posted at the original Bioephemera site.
Is there anything this woman is not insanely good at?

The inestimable Dr. Free-Ride has started a series (Part 1) on scientific careerism in which she is pondering the project of being a grownup scientist. Naturally, YHN likes. However, the first post and teaser title for the second strikes a certain, er, tone:
Grown-up chemists had a huge body of unwritten knowledge to draw upon, it seemed. But hardly any of it seemed to be the focus of our graduate training — at least, not explicitly.
Coming up: Why don’t most advisors talk about the things grad students most want to learn from them?
Coming up below the fold: Why are graduate students and postdocs so aggressively clueless about their careers?
