• Environmental Science [Geek Girls]

  
  Jezebel — Authority: 806
  Few women are going into computer science , and it may be because of the stereotype of the masculine, gamer geek. Upon stepping into a "stereotypical" workspace, women are likely to feel discouraged and think "I do not belong here." [ EurekAlert ]

• Perception hole

  
  YoungFemaleScientist — Authority: 119
  From a comment: Anonymous said... "My point in #3 and 5 is not that men dont care about these things, absolutely they do. But women drop out in disproportionate numbers, and these are some of the reasons they cite." Wait a second. Why would women drop out at disproportionate rates due to lack of money and job ...

• Farewell, Sciencewomen!

  
  Potspoon! — Authority: 103
  One of my favorite science blogs is closing shop. Sciencewomen has always been on my blogroll and has been a constant source of chuckles, thought provoking essays, and a pool of encouragement for women (or ANYONE) in the sciences. I am sure many of us female science bloggers have Sciencewomen to thank for the ...

• Who Would Want To Watch Smart, Interesting TV Anyway?

  
  The Intersection — Authority: 656
  Can anyone verify if this is, in fact, a real advertisement for the Discovery Channel in the Netherlands? According to Gwen at Sociological Images , the poster reads: Not for women’s eyes. Discovery Channel has television men want to watch. Exciting, smart, interesting, adventurous, and most of all real. Watch ...

• On Imbalance And Underrepresentation

  
  The Intersection — Authority: 656
  Saturday evening I published a few lines about how Richard Dawkins’ Oxford book of modern science writing features just 2.5 out of 83 essays by women. I wasn’t particularly surprised or harsh in tone, as the purpose was mainly to make the point out that we have a lot of work to do toward breaking through the ...

• More on presentations (also some ranting about writing)

  
  YoungFemaleScientist — Authority: 119
  By way of FSPs latest post , I wanted to say something more here since she had 44 comments already and many were quite long. Lately theres been a lot of talk about "why do young women drop out" of the academic pipeline. Lately I have been hearing from a lot of young women about why. (As an aside: Ive covered all ...

• Invisible women in science

  
  The Answer's 42 — Authority: 106
  The Richard Dawkins Foundation has launched an appeal to raise $100,000 by December 31st . Its not immediately obvious from the website what this is for - you have to scroll down the page to find out - but what is immediately obvious from the video is that they missed an opportunity to promote women in science. All ...

• Learning from the Wider Community

  
  Wandering Scientist — Authority: 116
  I dont blog much about my work. This is largely because I am not at liberty to discuss details of my work- Ive signed non-disclosure agreements at every job Ive had. I can say that one of my areas of interest is the design of databases to store biological data. I dont get to do this much anymore, but at one point, ...

• Futura - Chapter 13

  
  Lady, That's My Skull — Authority: 462
  Chapter 13 of the Futura Saga from Planet Comics #55 (July 1948) gives the reader a rapid-fire succession of action and new ideas. Nearly too much at times for the space allotted. The Venusians are still seeking freedom, the Space Patrol shows up and the menace of the Space Tyrant so readily beat down by Futura in ...

• Why its sexist that top-tier papers are the unspoken requirement

  
  YoungFemaleScientist — Authority: 119
  Lately Ive been having to explain this a lot, so I figured hey why not blog about it. 1. Nobody tells you its a requirement The thing about unspoken rules is that the in-crowd shares them with their proteges. The auslanders argue among themselves about whether there really are rules or not. 2. Publishing is ...

• Futura - Chapter 12

  
  Lady, That's My Skull — Authority: 462
  The overall science fiction themes of Planet Comics typically followed whatever trend was the most popular at the time. Early in the series the stories were verging on the silly, reflecting the Hugo Gernsback-style of science fiction, or "Scientifiction" that was prevalent in the pulps. Space ships were simple ...

• Sex and the scientist

  
  The Culture of Chemistry — Authority: 99
  (Cross posted at my other blog .) I am in the midst of writing an essay for Nature Chemistry - about why people are so curious about stereotypes of scientists, but seem less so about other fields. There is the DAST (draw a scientist test), but not as far as I can discover similar instruments to assess the ...

• The Mystery of the Time Chamber!

  
  Lady, That's My Skull — Authority: 462
  Before I continue with the Futura Saga I am going to take a break to present a special request appearance of Mysta of the Moon. Mysta of the Moon was long-running science fiction adventure serial that ran in Planet Comics from 1945 to 1949. Mysta is perhaps the most consistent serial in regards to art and ...
