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.

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 :)
How about the girl geniuses:

I left a comment some time ago but it hasn't appeared yet. Could anybody tell me how comments are moderated?
