...for your favorite female scientist! And say 'hello' to ScienceWoman, one of the newest members on the Science Blogs team, while you are at it. While you are there, you might want to browse around - ScienceWoman is interested in many of the same topics we are... like science and women (oh, and breastfeeding).

Thanks to MarkH for introducing us to this awesome new blog, and for his continued discussion of the OTA. Also, if you haven't signed Maus's petition yet, you can sign here.

UPDATE: If you are having trouble thinking of any scientists that have not already made the list, reading through the list of this year's "Genius Grant" recipients might introduce you to some contemporary women in science doing unusual and interesting work. I certainly enjoyed reading through it, although it disturbed me that the youngest fellow is only three years older than I am. I better get working!
