This video,
by Emily Graslie of
The Brain Scoop,
has been making the internet rounds this week.
Emily does a good job of summarizing some of the reasons why it's
hard to find women role models in science. A lot of it boils down
to the fact that women frequently get judged based solely on appearances,
and that the feedback we got often has more to do with how "hot"
or "sexy" we are rather than the content of our work.
