XKCD Is Awesome

 There's nothing whatsoever I can add to this. Except that Emmy Noether is one of my personal heroes.

XKCD is the most awesome thing ever, even if they do make fun of my chosen field. I can still laugh though, 'cause they might have a point! :)

also, dishwashers, VCRs and answering machines were all invented by women.

Hehe, that's all kinds of awesome! I went into a rant at the office the other day. Out of the 114 authors I'm currently responsible for, I think only 5 are female, two chemists, one mathematician, one historian and one physicist. Not that there aren't women involved in the projects, usually the lead author's wife who they treat like a secretary and I really wanted to send a hate email to this one guy who said his wife was just better organised -- no, it is because you're a lazy person!

/ end rant!

I think I'll be done with "Mystery" say, Tuesday? I'm out most of the weekend as it's my birthday on Sunday, so I'm being treated on Saturday to tea at Harrods and *cough* to balance out that refinery the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I hope this is okay! Sorry for being so slow.

This is awesome!

As a woman with two hard sci degrees, I LOVE this. As a woman forced out of two male dominated labs (they still call for help 10years later, losers), I NEED this. This just got blown up and posted in my office for all my students to see!

Doing it so hard is what can make me cry.

No, I know it's OK.
