Point well-taken. How about:
You can take the girl out of the laboratory, but you can’t take the science out of the girl. My latest experiment: handmade artisan soap. It’s chemistry + art.

In reply to Ruth.

Ruth: Looks good, but I’d like to see it be a little more personal – a little about yourself. Right now, if I saw that, I’d think you’d just try to sell me soap constantly. Does that make sense?
IOW, I wouldn’t use your bio as a sale pitch.

Ok, your post inspired me to revisit my bio. Here it is as of today:
My soap looks beautiful and makes you feel great in the shower. No, you can’t marry it, but you can pick out some bars at [this is where Twitter automatically inserts my website address].

Hi Alyson – this is a tardy reply to your Twitter bio posting. I’m busy building my new website (the current one is a bit broken!) and starting my Delight Detective blog – and thought “now is the time to jump into Twitter!” Yes!
Thanks to your great post and everyone’s comments I crafted this bio:
Artist and delight detective who promotes a happy, YES filled life through color, fiber, words and laughter. Founding member of The Glue Stick Society.
Cheerio from Port Townsend, WA! Frances

In reply to Dana.

hmmm… one other thing Dana. When I go to filmisntdead.blogspot, it shows me a “Mega Site of Bible Studies”. Doesn’t seem to have anything to do with photography. Am I missing something?

In reply to Dana.

I think that’s perfect. It makes me grin and tells me exactly what kind of artist you are at the same time.

Hmm, I redid mine but it’s tough to try and be relevant and amusing at the same time. Not sure I quite managed it.

In reply to Nadine.

Nadine, I like that you’re trying to keep it light. My instinct, though, is that the bio’s too long (or maybe more that there’s just a lot thrown together in it?), and that since we don’t know Huxley is a dog (vs. a school — like in an ultimate frisbee team), maybe just drop it out. And also, what do you mean by “dreaded millenial” to describe yourself? May be a common term, but I’m not familiar… Hope this is helpful!

“Web design enthusiast, editor, writer, consumer of books (both paper and e), craftypants, science nerd, thrower of frisbees for Huxley, dreaded millennial.”
I worry that the bit about my dog is superfluous, but I think it’s funny. Is it only funny to me?
