Tom (FairerScience's tech guru and my husband) was in a serious accident last week and, as you would imagine, posting hasn't been much on my mind. We are back home now and he is on the mend.

I was really sorry I missed the deadline for this month's Scientiae. "Added Weight: Taking Up Space" is such a great topic. I was rehearsing my post in my head; thinking about my mixed feelings when a former research assistant said "Pat, you're not a big woman but you take up a lot of space."

Anyway this month's host, the incomparable Zuska, has done a great job, pulling the entries together. You gotta go read them.
