Hey friends! If you like kids and you like writing and you like science, have you ever considered combining them all together? I’m talking specifically about writing science books for kids. It’s a great way to combine these things all together, and have fun introducing kids to cool science topics. After all, they are the next generation of scientists. Even better, you may be able to make a bit of money off it as a side hustle! My Aunt Lisa introduced me to Ginger Wallis a little while ago. Ginger is a science schoolteacher by day, and writes children’s science books by night. Her latest book ..read more

How to Get Awesome, Affordable Field Gear

  One thing you soon find out as a scientist (besides how easy it is to blow shit up) is that field gear can be super expensive. Not only is it expensive, but it’s one of those things that’s expected for you to a) already own and b) bring it to work with you (and thus wear it down even more). While some scientists have traveled the world over, I’ve been pretty fortunate to work in a few different places myself and in extreme conditions. How extreme? In Alaska, it was negative 60 degrees and our tires froze off my vehicle. That wasn’t awkward at all. When I first started field work, I bought ..read more

Is Beachbody a Good Side Hustle for Scientists?

Today we are going to be discussing a sensitive topic. No, it’s not how many cat pics you can reasonably share on social media without being a crazy cat lady scientist. It’s…Beachbody? More specifically, if it’s a good side hustle for scientists, like me and you. The first time I had ever heard about Beachbody was through an old friend on Facebook (wow, doesn’t that sound like an MLM podcast episode). She was always doing “free” healthy challenges, like clean eating and getting your daily water intake. Umm, I’m a broke college student who is depressed cause I am a said broke college student a ..read more

April 2019 Debt Payoff Update

Another end of the month means it’s time for a…. quick debt update!  I share my debt repayments with you guys monthly so you can see my progress. I also share so you can see what a debt payoff journey looks like in real time. Debt payoff sucks and as sexy as people make it sound sometimes, debt repayment is not a sprint. Sometimes it’s a &65$%* marathon! If you aren’t a regular lurker in the pf community, it may seem weird for a total stranger to be sharing her finances with the world. I never claimed to be normal but I put real numbers out there because numbers are motivating. Numbers are ..read more

  At Science Finance, we talk about how to manage your money as a scientist. But… what if you can’t be one? A serious topic and one I know about first hand. Not Finding A Position Is Common We don’t really become scientists to be rich or famous. You usually pick a degree, such as wildlife biologist (who, me?) because science gets you excited. While some people would rather catch up on celebrity gossip via TMZ, you’re watching Planet Earth trying to figure out how the photographer didn’t get eaten by the bear. Doing what you love is what you long to do but being a scientist doesn’t always make ..read more

Raise your hand if you’re a scientist (or working in the science field). Now, keep your hand raised if you think you’re making enough money. See my point? Most scientists aren’t making enough money.
