It’s been a few months since my last linkfest, so it seems like high time for a fresh collection. The transition to a new continent and  new career has taken up a lot of my time and energy over the last few months, and unfortunately that’s meant I’ve given Inspiring Science less attention than I’d like to. Hopefully I’ll settle into a new rhythm soon and start posting more frequently again. In the meantime you can also find my writing at Accumulating Glitches or my Beacon project if you’re hankering for more.  As always, feel free to add more links in the comments!

It’s November! That’s not usually an exciting time for me (Helsinki is cold, dark, and wet in November), but this year is an exception. In just under three weeks, I’ll be moving to another continent and starting to write full time! I’m really excited about the change and eager to get started with the next phase of my life…and I’m also very busy with the process of getting there, so Inspiring Science will be more quiet than usual over the next few weeks. Hopefully I’ll manage to find the time to post something, but in the meantime here are some tidbits to tide you over. (If that’s not enough for you, have a gander through some of the old posts or previous linkfests.) As always, feel free to add more links in the comments!

Image: Random HouseI discovered the blog Raising My Rainbow sometime last year and have been reading it (semi-)regularly ever since. Written by Lori Duron, it chronicles the ups and downs of raising CJ, a gender-creative little boy who “only likes girl stuff and wants to be treated like a girl”. The blog has been enormously popular and successful, leading Duron to write a book of the same name. Continue reading →

It’s certainly been too long since my last Found while foraging!  Since I haven’t been posting as frequently as I’d like, I’ve preferred to post about scientific topics when I had a chance to post.  In the meantime, I’ve let my collection of links grow…so I decided to start the week with a Found while foraging and hopefully end it with a “proper” post.  Anyway, here’s what I’ve come across in the last couple of months — hopefully it’s not an overwhelming collection!  As always, feel free to add more links in the comments.

January has been a busy month.  In addition to writing here, I worked on some websites for my family and submitted entries to a couple of science writing competitions for the first time!  I’ve also optimistically nominated Inspiring Science for the annual “Bloggies” awards; if you think it deserves a chance, why not head on over and add your voice? I’ve really enjoyed working on this blog for the past year and I’m looking forward to writing being an even bigger part of my life in 2013!  Anyway, here’s another batch of tidbits I found during my wanderings.  As always, feel free to add more links in the comments.

I was hoping to spend lots of time writing during the winter holidays, but instead I’ve been enjoying the opportunity to spend time with my family.  I’ve got a few promising posts in the works for early in the new year, but until then here’s another collection of odds and ends from around the web to keep you going.  As always, feel free to add more links in the comments.  I hope you’ve all enjoyed the winter/summer solstice and associated holidays.
