Shelley Batts at Retrospectacle, one of my favorite science

Shelley Batts at Retrospectacle, one of my favorite science writers that, ummmm, isn't writing here ( sorry folks - we can't have all the good ones ) is in the running for a $10,000 student blogging scholarship. Yep, someone will give up $10K for great writing. Okay, not really, it's a popularity contest. But she deserves it for the great writing. So go vote for her at: http://www.collegescholarships.org/blog/2007/10/08/vote-for-the-winner-of-the-2007-blogging-scholarship/

Women In Science: So What?

Women In Science: So What?

Oct 08 2007 | comment(s)

Another article last week, Do Inferior Numbers Scare Women Away From Science And Engineering?, expressed concern that there aren't enough women ( and minorities ) in science, engineering and math. A lot of math and science and engineering is getting done, it is just getting done primarily by men and that is a concern.

But why? I know why it should be a concern. I have enough of a liberal leaning to reflexively know it is supposed to be a concern but that is balanced out by age and the hard-earned realization that spending more money, in the case of awareness programs, or implementing quotas won't actually produce better science.
