You will be wanting to read my excellent essay, 'Suzy the Computer' vs. 'Dr. Sexy': What's a Geek Girl to Do When She Wants to Get Laid? in She's Such a Geek! Women Write About Science, Technology, and Other Nerdy Stuff.

If you have not yet figured out why you shoud not be using terms like "hard science" and "soft skills", then you absolutely need to read Telling Stories About Engineering: Group Dynamics and Resistance to Diversity in NWSA Journal v. 16 No. 1, 2004 (Re)Gendering Science Fields.

You should also read They Blinded Me With Science: Misuse and Misunderstanding of Biological Theory, an excellent critique of Thornhill and Palmer's nonsense about rape as an evolutionary strategy. You can find it in Burack and Josephson's must-read tome, Fundamental Differences: Feminists Talk Back to Social Conservatives.

Where Are the Joy of Science Discussion Posts?

Category: Joy of Science
Posted on: June 13, 2007 11:43 AM, by Zuska

So, last week I posted the Week 4 Joy of Science reading summaries and since then...nothing. No JoS discussion posts. What's up with that?

I'd say procrastination, but then you'd ask, "why?" I seem to be having an extraordinarily difficult time writing up my discussion of these readings; I know some of the reasons why, which I'll mention in one of the discussion posts, but I'm not really sure why. Writer's block? Weather too nice, would rather play in the garden? But suddenly there are a zillion other things I'd rather blog about, and it's been stormy the last two days, so those can't be the only excuses.

Well, whatever; please have a little patience and I hope I will have my discussion pieces out soon.
