MANLY IRISH ROWING TEAMS WILL CANCEL THEIR PRACTICES DUE TO SWANS IN THE RIVER. I don't know, like I figured that was common knowledge but I keep running into people that don't know better. 8/
Thank you very much! Camaraderie and mentorship among women is really important to me. In the volunteer work I do in science education, we've actually been accused of sexism for splitting up the girls and boys (I work with the girls), but my team really strives to create a collaborative environment based on both sound academia and friendships and it has worked really well to counteract the attitude that science is for boys and is super competitive and scary (okay, some science is super competitive and scary, but we're finding out that method isn't very innovative and can't handle our current frontiers).
This has had enough impact on me, the visibility and community of women in science has become one of my 2 study focuses for my minor in history and philosophy of science, and has me considering it for grad school. :U
