Women in science and technology

[Dave]

That makes me both so happy and sad at the same time. Why did it take another 55 years for a woman to get the recognition?

Imagine just how many Jocelyn Bells there are out there.

Here, here!

An amazing woman with an amazing career in earth science who now lives in a mud hut near the Masaii Mara as the chief's wife, erm, by accident.

Beyond Curie

Beyond Curie is a design project that highlights badass women in science, technology, engineering + mathematics.

There are legions more brilliant women who deserve recognition for their contributions to science, sociology, and judicial exceptionalism.

Isolated example: Refer to an article in February Scientific American.  Doris Y Tsao is a professor of biology at California Institute of Technology (Cal Tech).  Her research into brain regions that process faces reveal deep insights into the neural mechanisms of vision. It appears that there is an isolated region of the brain that is exclusively in charge of recognizing faces. The article uses some big words like inferotemporel cortex and anterior medial patch any other words that Silver will understand . Fascinating stuff by a woman who is a leading edge scientist.
