<img align="left" alt="swblocks.jpg" src="http://scienceblogs.com/sciencewoman/swblocks.jpg" width="69" height="41">In January 2008, a reader (Serious Scientist) sent me a query about dealing with inlaws who thought she should give up on her scientific career when her baby arrived. They wanted her to go to a baby shower across the country, without her husband, and she was dreading the trip and the questions and judgements that would certainly arrive during the party. I encourage you all to look back into the archives and <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/sciencewoman/2008/01/ask_sciencewoman_not_giving_up.php">read her original letter</a>, and the wonderful advice everyone offered to Serious Scientist.
Serious's letter, even buried back in the archives, has generated a couple of recent comments. Most recently, Katherine commented:
Serious Scientist, I hope you return and let us know how things went :)
In light of that comment, I decided to dig out Serious's email and find out how her story turned out. Below the fold, I'll share her happy ending.
