The fabulous folks at Fairer Science, coming back from a great experience at the AAAS conference, have decided to share with all of us a few of their snazzy power point presentations:
...the session convinced me it was time to add a new section to FairerScience: "Presentation Tools." We've started it with two power points presentations (which can also be downloaded in pds):Women, Science and Media: Where is the FairerScience? provides a general introduction to issues related to women scientists and the media and suggests some things that can be done to get more accurate portrayals.
FairerScience in an Unfair World targets some things scientists and science organizations can do to improve media coverage of gender and science.
You are, as my Aunt Rona would say, more than welcome to duplicate and use them as long as you don't make money off of them and you do credit us.
Now surely there are some of you out there who can put these powerpoint presentations to good use! Even if it's only to get good talking points for yourself to use in your daily moron management activities. There are some good tips in these presentations for science bloggers. And as always with Fairer Science, you'll find one or two things to make you smile - even if you're sort of wincing as you smile.
Thanks, Fairer Science!
