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.

Sporadic Blogging in the Next Few Weeks

Category: Announcements
Posted on: November 8, 2007 2:13 PM, by Zuska

Hi folks. Just wanted to say that blogging's going to be a bit thin in the next few weeks. Got some family health issues I have to deal with. I don't know how long this will take to sort out, and don't know if I'll be able to do any blogging at all in the near future, though I'm going to try.

If I do manage to post, please bear with me if I don't respond to comments, or if a comment of yours gets hung up in moderation and I don't get to it right away. I'll do my best to check in at least once a day if I manage to post but I can't promise.

You'll see me when you see me!
