About

"Janet’s writing is as insightful as it is interesting. She can take mundane events (and sometimes terrifying ones!) and extract meaning and purpose. She has that rare ability to connect with people by revealing her heart yet offering an in-depth scientific explanation that most of us never knew. When she was bitten by a snake, she shared her fears and pain and, at the same time, informed us how the venom was chemically reacting as it coursed throughout her body. And, as always, she closed with a statement of optimism and confidence. Not many writers can make you chuckle one moment and bring tears the next. But Janet can."

"I have been following Janet’s posts for over a decade, and as a fellow scientist and mother, she has always helped shape my own path. She is a natural teacher with an incredible gift for telling a good story. Whether she is covering science, spirituality, quirky anecdotes or deep life lessons, Janet delivers beautifully crafted words that will enlighten, move and truly inspire.

"Dr. Siefert is enthusiastic, creative, and a good communicator in the modern sense, in addition to her excellent writing. While at the University of Houston she was a teaching assistant for several semesters and was always very popular with the students. While at Rice she has been involved in several Education and Public Outreach activities. I have heard her present at meetings on several occasions and she is always quite good. I view Dr. Siefert as an excellent scientist who can do research and teach. "

"I have known Janet for more than 30 years. In addition to being a great Mom and Wife plus a cutting edge scientist and researcher, Janet is also a true friend who is a leader in her friendship circle and she includes us in intellectual endeavors as well as entertainment. Janet is an excellent cook. She has the humor and wit of a southern author and shares her wisdom and many adventures through her writings. Janet has the ability to fully embrace her faith in Christ while pursuing scientific excellence and doing both with fervor, yet without limiting either."
