The Mother Geek
Twitter: JeanneGarb
Jeanne is a mother of two beautiful girls, aged 2 and 4. In her other (easier) gig, Jeanne is a postdoc at Rockefeller University in the Laboratory of Biochemical Genetics and Metabolism. There, she studies how cholesterol moves inside of our cells and relates this information to humanhealth and the development of cardiovascular disease. In addition to being a scientific researcher, Jeanne is a self-proclaimed scientist-communicator, often blogging about relevant scientific issues on her blog The Mother Geek, as well as co-organizing a monthly science discussion series, Science Online NYC, which is open to anyone who is interested about how science is conducted. You can find her tweeting as @JeanneGarb or can follow The Mother Geek on Facebook.

Man, it is freaking cold outside (I live in NY) and as to not freeze my arse off as I walk to work, I decided to take our household’s winter coat inventory. Because I have existed in multiple sizes over the last few years, I have managed to accumulate ... Read more...
