Janet D. Stemwedel is a former physical chemist who, despite her status as a card-carrying philosopher (and associate professor of same at San Jose State University), cannot seem to leave science alone. Her teaching and research focus on issues in the philosophy of science and responsible conduct of scientific research (issues about which she also blogs about at scienceblogs.com/ethicsandscience). Where she really rolls up her sleeves to talk science, however, is in the parenting of her children (currently ages 8 and 10).
