I know this might be really hard to believe, but I have this self-esteem issue. A major self-esteem issue in which I have problems admitting that stuff I do might be good.

Oh stop laughing, I doAnd yet, and this part I'm sure you know, I do crave validation. Like in things like blog competitions. And - I don't want to make her feel bad by saying ( Read more... )

I'm for both the above - ADD brains and RRH were pretty awesome posts :D

You so need to do this. Seriously.

Make sure you include some of your posts about gender and about your life in science, which I know is kind of a no-brainer since you write about those two topics regularly, but I never fail to give those in particular a careful read.

If I wasn't in the midst of moving hell, I'd mention specific ones, and I'll still try, but even if I don't: you should apply for this.

Oh true--the RRH and ADD posts, yes. Those too.

The ADD one was fantastic also.

And you totally should enter because your entries are entertaining and fantastic.

ALL of your entries are good. In fact, they're a bit too good. They tend to make me think of my own journal and see what a load of drivel I write in it!
