Bitch PhD writes the popular website of the same name. She's been interviewed by Public Radio International and The Guardian, and she gives talks at academic conferences and various universities from time to time. Usually she tempers her withering disdain on these occasions.

Bitch PhD shares her affections with the world's smartest and cutest child, a spoiled cat, a much-put-upon husband, a long-distance boyfriend, and two mice. They all think that she is the best, except for the mice, who prefer millet seed.
