Wimminz in Academia, now with 100% Fewer Babies II Q&A OPEN

Minions and Muffins, the Time Has Come*!

Oh so long ago, I declared my intention to lie prostrate on the ground and beg various female professor bloggers to volunteer to answer questions about being a woman in academia (I also took volunteers that didn't know any better were so kindly willing to edumacate the masses). With the Explicit Rule that there will be no talking of baby-having/rearing/napping/snuggles.

Various awesome individuals have answered the call, and here I reveal the illustrious panel:

Return of Seasoned Panel Vets:

Geek Mommy Prof of Academic Jungle

Prodigal Academic

Professor in Training

With new Guest appearances by:

Chemical BioLOLogy

Pascale Lane of Whizbang!

Kate Clancy of Context and Variation

KJHaxton of Endless Possibilities v3.0

Female Science Professor

Micro Dr. O

Dr. Sneetch of The Sneetch Blog


Is this panel not really FRACKING AWESOME OMG?!!11!!?

BUT WAIT THAT'S NOT ALL.

Some really super awesome postdocs went off and volunteered themselves also. So we will now have TWO panels: The prof panel (listed above), and the postdoc panel (listed below).

Candadian GirlPostdoc

Nina of KiwiHorizons

Dr. Zeek from Confessions of a self-admitted Nerd Girl

This is as close to a D-List Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza/New Year's you're going to get, so wave those streamers of love and appreciation! They have all consented to answer four questions about how to be a Rockstar Academic. I am opening my blog (and email, and twitter) from now until next Thursday (07/14) to the blogger community to suggest questions that will be submitted the panel. I will sift through the questions and select the 4 to be discussed (so send all your angry emails to me if you question doesn't get picked). So put your scrivener caps on and come up with some awesome questions for me to take credit for for us to discuss!

*Yes, I plagiarized myself from last year. And I am not even sorry unless you want to come write my proposals for me.
