About me

Introduction	I am an early career scientist, not yet 10 years out from getting my Ph.D. in the biological sciences. I conduct research (and do some teaching and student advising) at a major public university in Scandinavia. I am on a global quest for that egalitarian utopia in which I can work in blissful ignorance of my gender. However, I am finding that what was true in the States is true in Scandinavia as well: if you ever forget that you’re a woman, someone will always be around to remind you.
