If you are a fan of Female Science Professor's writing, as I am, you'll be glad to hear that she's reworked a bunch of her old posts into a book, lengthily titled
Academeology: Random Musings, Strong Opinions & Somewhat Bizarre Anecdotes From An Academic Life. Some of the section headings (via Confessions of a Science Librarian, since Lulu is down at the moment):
- Acquiring an academic job
- The Graduate School Experience: Getting In
- The Graduate School Experience: Professor-Student Relations
- Speaking of Talks
- Success, Failure, Ambition, Fame
- Cruel and Unusual: Faculty Meetings
Academeology: Random Musings, Strong Opinions & Somewhat Bizarre Anecdotes From An Academic Life is available in print and pdf versions at Lulu.com

This is exciting!I'm so glad I lurk your site to keep me up to date with everyone else's!
I used to read this blog fairly regularly but I no longer believe this person is who they claim to be and the events she describes are real. An active researcher with grants and a large lab who sells a memoir book and logo t-shirts? I just don't believe it - some of what s/he writes rings true but more and more of it seems to me to be a front for making money from people who think s/he has some insight.
Anonymous: I don't know who Female Science Professor actually is, but I sincerely doubt she is making much money, either through Lulu or by selling mugs. And it seems extraordinarily unlikely that someone would create such a persona and regularly post on a blog for a couple of years just to make a few dollars. Of course you can believe her or not.
