I think my entry for this month's Scientiae carnival is going to be a top 10 list of women in science news from 2007. This seems like a perfect excuse to kill a few hours web browsing. But I know that whatever ideas I come up with, I will miss some of the best things out there. So if you have a personal favorite women in science story (news item, blog post, report, etc.) that you think should be included in the top 10 list, please let me know.

A scientist and an engineer being the change we want to see

Alice Pawley is an assistant professor of engineering education at Purdue University. She blogs at the intersection of women's studies and engineering, a pretty empty space but with potential to grow. She wants to be a feminist-but-tenured professor when she grows up.

I don't know if she's been in the news this year, but I recall being introduced to Cynthia Breazeal's research through PBS. She directs the Robotic Life Group at the MIT Media Lab where she and an army of PhD students create and program robots with emotions and social intelligence. She's on my list of the most impressive women in science 2007 :)

I left a comment some time ago but it hasn't appeared yet. Could anybody tell me how comments are moderated?
Anyway, my comment was about physicist Lisa Randall being featured on Vogue.
