I started a new blog devoted to science and life as a scientist (technically I'm engineer, but that may be one of the topics to discuss in the future.) I work on lasers and LEDs so I will talk about that, as well as graduate school and academia in general. But I will do it with a twist of humor and self-loathing!
I figure it will be kind of like OkStoopid, but instead of being a 31-year-old woman and dating and dicks it's about being a 33-year-old woman and science and lasers.
Anyway, it's called My Laser Boyfriend and it lives at: http://laserboyfriend.blogspot.com/
Answers to questions nobody asked:
Is this the end of Auntie Cake?
No! I will continue to post random stuff about music, bikes and cats here at Auntie Cake.
Why start a new blog?
Because I'm bored. Because I like new projects. Because I want to find a way to bridge my interests in science, writing and humor, and a blog seems like an easy way to begin. Also because I want something separate and a little more professional than posts I've written in the past so starting off fresh seemed like the way to go.
Why the name "My Laser Boyfriend"?
It started off as a joke between some friends of mine on Twitter when I was doing my graduate work and hopelessly dateless. The joke was that lasers were better than boyfriends. I'm not so sure it's true anymore. Anyway, I may change the name.
Will I give up after two years and end up archiving the entire blog on Auntie Cake?
Maybe.
Does the world need another science blog from a female perspective?
Yes. (The answer has to be yes, right?)
