Secretagentpeptidebond - Mostly Harmless.

hey, your blog is super great and you seem like a beautiful human being. i find you to be super inspiring! i know you get a lot of these questions, but is it okay to punch boys who tell me that i "can't can't be an engineer because I'm a girl"?

Not that I’m advocating violence, but if hypothetically you were to punch a shitty dude for being sexist, you should aim for the solar plexus or the stomach, not the face, because you’re less likely to hurt your hand and you’ll do more damage. Hypothetically of course.

i think i did something actually worthwhile in science this week.

i was asked to review a children’s science book for accuracy, and upon doing so i noted that every scientist mentioned by name was a man, and the vast majority were white. i pointed this out to the publishers in my review letter.

surprisingly, my comments seemed well received. i was thanked for noticing what everyone else had missed, and they told me they were going to change the list of scientists they discussed to be more representative. so, yay? i may have actually had a positive impact on science education?

what am i even doing still stuck at the bench, pipetting shit.
