I'm rarely a serious blogger, but when I am I tend to post about women in academia, science and languages & linguistics.

Mostly, though, you will find lots of pictures of cats & owls, bits and pieces of the world, and quotes that inspire me.

Coming out of the closet…

I had to hide in my closet.

Because I wanted to test some recording device without actually leaving home go to the lab.

(And I figured the closet would be quiet and the closest thing I have to a sound-proof booth without having to trade my pj for real clothes.)

The look my cat gave me when I got out… Priceless.
