I'm a bit awestruck by Nanila! She's such a witty and thoughtful writer, and I love reading her posts about science and parenting and Pokémon and every other topic. Even when she's angry and upset, her writing is sparkling and really makes me think about the issues she's rightfully angry about.

Oh, thank you! I'm particularly intrigued by your final observation, which is something I'd never have noticed myself.

Dr. N is an excellent person of SCIENCE who has great posts about space things and how they are very much succeeding at raising aware and brilliant children who will be all of their potential selves.

Thank you very much. It's especially nice to hear your perspective on the children, as I know how observant you are and how much experience you have with them.

I really like seeing Nanila's posts on my reading list even though we don't know each other at all - she always has something really interesting to say and her continued presence makes me smile. ♥

Thank you. The parenting is probably the thing I worry about the most, so it's very nice to hear that it seems to be a thing I'm getting right (mostly...).

Nanila is brilliant - her enthusiasm for her areas of expertise is utterly infectious, and she's brilliant at making them comprehensible.

[personal profile] nanila is wonderfully thoughtful and brings her keen intellect and kindness to all the subjects she writes about: space, science, politics, immigration, parenting, art.
