I never had a thing for science until marrying Matt. Now I find myself occasionally trying to muddle through the short articles in copies of Nature (how do I live in a household with a subscription to a major science journal but not Vogue?), going to lectures on epigenetics, and wishing I had taken more science classes in undergrad. My comfort zone used to be purely art and design related subjects. I think that whole opposites attract thing has more truth and merit than I originally gave it credit. Thank you, Dr. Crane, for letting me ride on your lab-coat tails.

Dear Cath,
Shoot, shoot, shoot! I forgot you have a work retreat the rest of the week! No skype! GAHHH!!! We must skype at least three times this weekend (with video)! Because next week we have NO wifis in the Landmark Trust house we are staying in. Too, too long without Kitcath contact.
Don’t you like those non-latex purple gloves in the photos? So much better than the white powdery things which don’t go with any outfit (ba-hahaha!).
Miss you so very much!!! 30 days — that’s it! 30!!!
xoxoxox,

You would make for an adorable scientist! I met my husband in a chem class back in undergrad, and though my lab skillZ were (in my and my TA’s opinion) much better than his, he’s much more science-y than I am.
I have to say, I am sure impressed with Matt’s clean bench! THAT is the mark of a TRUE scientist! ha!
I love that you met in science class, Laura! I’m imagining eyes meeting over the flame of the Bunsen burners 😉
Oh and these miiight have been taken at the bench one over from Matt’s less.erm. organized space – tehehehe.
Hey, just have a look at my post below and you’ll see how I styled my horse print skirt!
Love the ‘scientific’ posing!

Doh! I’m going to check it out right now, Kati! Shame on me for only seeing your top post!
Eff, I LOVE science! If you’re on FB, subscribe to a page called I Fucking Love Science. They post the awesomest science stories for non-scientists. And for serious: you posing in the lab coat is the cutest editorial ever.
Going to that FB page this second — sounds perfect, Cammila. Maybe I’ll pick up some sciency lingo that will shock the lab coat off the husbando!
Lar, only you can make a lab coat and lab gloves look amazing! I’m so impressed! Especially since I know nothing about science. And I love your thrift store finds.
Yep, I was away from the computer all today and I will be tomorrow too. Boohiss! Skype date this weekend? When are you leaving for the grand Thanksgiving estate?
Thanksgiving estate on Monday! So we have all weekend to catch up! I can’t wait because I am having major Cath withdrawals (symptoms include general grouchiness and lack of personal style growth).
I hope your retreat is going well! Miss you muuuuchooo!!!

Awww this is totally adorable.
Thanks, Ria!
great post and you worked those latex gloves. i love science!
so cute! although, i do have to say from experience in working in a chemistry lab nobody dresses that cute to lab. haha What kind of work does Matt do?
