1) Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Miss America Monologue Not only is this clip ridiculously funny, but it gives a huge shoutout to Society for Women Engineers. I encourage you to share this, as it's generated lots of donations and social media following for SWE Watch it here! 2) New York Times--Microscopic Issue of Unknown Consequences Really interesting article about a side of climate change I haven't seen much coverage of! This is certainly timely in light of all the recent 300k+ person march in NYC and all the discussions about human contribution to CO2 emissions. Check it out! 3) Huffington Post--Are Nasty Comments like This Keeping Women Out of Science? Stories from women about casual (and not so casual) sexism during their scientific careers. Read about their experiences 4) New York Times--Exposing Hidden Bias at Google A discussion about the lack of women in top tech firms including Google. Google has now started a lecture series for its employees by Dr. Brian Welle that discusses the natures of Implict Bias. You can actually watch these! "The effect of bias is powerful, and it isn’t softened by Silicon Valley’s supposedly meritocratic culture. In the lecture, Dr. Welle shows a computer simulation of how a systematic 1 percent bias against women in performance evaluation scores can trickle up through the ranks, leading to a severe underrepresentation of women in management." Learn about and watch the lectures here! 5) BBC News--Shellshock: 'Deadly serious' new virus found A vulnerability in Linux/Unix could be a really big problem, to say the least. Find out more! Keep on doing the science! Most of your lovely e-board is slogging through our theses, and I'm sure midterms are starting up soon. Best of luck to everyone. until next time, Kelly
