Ice Cream Supserstition

So there’s this other blogger out there ((come to think of it, I don’t even remember how/when I started following her blog)) and I’m pretty sure we are twins who were separated at birth.  She’s a scientist and an uber-Canucks fan and blogs about dirty hockey terms ((see here and here for comparison)),  and is, […] →Read more

Don’t Look Here. Look Over There!

I’m taking a page out of The Bloggess‘ book for this posting.  Sure, I’m not writing anything on this blog today, but if you just can’t get enough of Dr. Beth, then check out stuff I wrote elsewhere recently: Article about tanning for teen science website Posting about maternity/paternity leave & postdocs Some stuff about […] →Read more

The Hot Stays Hot

My sister was talking about the McDLT ((a burger that McDonald’s made back in the 80s, in case you have no idea what I’m talking about)) on her Facebook wall and I immediately pictured the commercial, with people dressed in very brightly coloured 80s clothes and with big 80s hair dancing around singing “The hot […] →Read more

My Fabulous New ‘Do

I got a phone call from my hair salon about a week ago. It turns out that the new stylist (Halina), who had been hired to replace my former stylist (Amie), who had left hairstyling to become a medical technician, has broken her ankle really badly and had to return to Ontario to get rehab […] →Read more

One day on this blog and I already have blogger’s block.  It’s not a very auspicious start. Hopefully I’ll be inspired to write something fantastic tomorrow. →Read more

I’m A Wanderer

So, I’ve had my blog at this drbethsnow.com URL for more than a year now.  That seems like an awfully long time to live some where, don’t you think? Seriously, though, as I mentioned the other day, I’ve being doing some consulting work and thinking that perhaps I should have a professional presence on the […] →Read more

Still Looking

Just more than a year ago, Wendy Ladner-Beaudry was found murdered in the forest by UBC. They still haven’t figured out who killed her.  On the radio yesterday, the police were talking about a YouTube video they’d produced to try to help generate more leads in the case. They are hoping that people will watch […] →Read more

This Time The B0rkening Was My Own Fault

As you probably didn’t notice, my blog has been down for a few days.  In response, I received the following email from Dr. Dan: Dr. Beth!  Where did NTBTWK go?  I keep getting 404’d.  404’d!!!!  ZOUNDS! Because I’m too lazy to re-type the story I work smarter, not harder, I’m pasting my reply ((with the […] →Read more

One More Advantage To Being Short

Many moons ago, I made a list of reasons it was good to be short.  The list was, not surprisingly, short.  But I’ve just remembered one more reason to add to the list.  Being short means the ability to wear children’s clothing ((and hockey gear. All of my hockey gear is junior boy’s gear, which […] →Read more

Mark Your Calendar! My 33 1/3 Birthday is Just Around the Corner!

May 11, 2010.  I’m not sure what I want to do for it, but a 33 1/3 birthday really warrants some sort of celebration, don’t you think? Consider yourself warned. →Read more
