Awesome Women

Brain cancer is...

...celebrating the awesomeness of [four] women!

Three new batteries!  Three awesome scientists!

• Jane Goodall
• Marie Curie
• Rosalind Franklin

And another woman whose battery is running low but who is feeling pretty darn awesome nonetheless:

This is me, as you see from the label.  I look exhausted.  That's accurate.  I just finished all the grading for my two grad classes.  I am so glad I had the opportunity to work and learn with my students this summer (Blocks 23 and 24!  Represent!). 

And now I have finished.  Tonight, with Domino's pizza and Alex, we celebrate the official transition to my year of paid family medical leave. 

We raise a slice to you, Awesome Women, and to the people who love you!
