In case you've ever wondered what I do at work, you can now check out my new work blog - http://collectivevoice.chemheritage.org/. And feel free to comment! (But keep it professional, please.) That blog chronicles our work in opening a new museum, and has four other authors besides me. If you have any interest in the history of science and/or museums, also check out the main page for the museum project - http://www.chemheritage.org/exhibits/ex-nav6-exhibition.html, particularly the slide show of objects (to the right).

You can also hear me on CHF's new podcast, available at http://distillations.chemheritage.org/. (I'm on episode 5, and a few upcoming episodes.)

And since this blog is actually about Iris, here's a picture of her showing how much she loves her new puppy, a Christmas present from Mimi (which she dropped right before the picture was taken):
