Another person, who I noticed said she was a "research scientist" on her little blog-blurb is Michelle of Mimoknits. She studies hearing loss and perception.

It's really interesting that there are so many research scientists and doctors (and other talented women) out there "hiding behind domesticity", hm?

and - happy day! the "Side Show" colored Circus is on its way to me. (The name always makes me think of Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons. I hope this yarn doesn't try to strangle me, or blow me up, or frame me for robbing a Quickie-Mart). It's bright, but I guess that's what you need for a winter pullover (my first choice had been the much-more-subdued "Palm Reader")
