In Her Words: Sylvia Earle on Women in Science

By Cate Matthews
When Sylvia Earle was selected be an aquanaut for an underwater mission in 1970, the head of the program defended her presence by saying, very practically, “Well, half the fish are female. I guess we could put up with a few women.”  Today Earle has a lot of hope for future female explorers, and explains why in this video from National Geographic.

#StrengthinDiversity: Why Twitter Would Benefit From a Woman on Its Board

By Cate Matthews
Picture
The early years at pioneering tech start ups can be messy, as perhaps best evidenced by the Oscar-winning film The Social Network’s depictions of Mark Zuckerberg’s (male) inner circle. Katherine Losse’s The Boy Kings further described the early business environment as an unwelcoming “fraternity” and said that before the arrival of current COO Sheryl Sandberg, harassment often went unaddressed. And despite the fact that the majority of Facebook users and social networkers in general are women, there was not a single woman on Facebook’s board when it went public. (This was rectified six months later with the addition of Sandberg, at least partially due to external pressure.)

Helen Friel’s “Here’s Looking at Euclid”

By Cate Mathews

As evidenced by his 1847 edition of Euclid’s Elements, English mathematician Oliver Byrne was way, way ahead of his time. In an effort to make the book more accessible to its readers, he did away with traditional alphabetic or numeric labelling and instead used primary colors to differentiate between different pieces of diagrams.The result was innovative and sharp, a text that today seems to share as much in common with modern art as other collections of complex geometric theories.

Running in Space

By Cate Matthews
Astronaut Karen Nyberg’s Youtube demonstrations provide fascinating glimpses of life aboard the International Space Station. Although the crew’s high-tech, low-gravity setting is decidedly out-of-this-world, many of their day-to-day activities are not. Check out Nyberg’s newest release, “Running in Space”.
