Guerrilla Girls of Science

I thought the Guerrilla Girl readings were really interesting to say the least. I remember hearing about them a while back, and the role of the female in art, as well as the role of the female artist is something I haven't thought much about. It did remind me, however, of a similar sex difference that is seen in science fields. There are so few women in science (compared to men) who go on to get Ph.D.'s, conduct postdoctoral work, or much less start running their own labs. It's also really interesting to see how women conduct themselves in the sciences (particularly around labs) compared to women of other fields. In all of the labs I've been involved with, women don't really wear make up, get dressed up in skirts or high heels, or do their nails like women from other "more feminine" fields do. I feel like in science, the perception is that to look feminine is to look dumb, and that's such a shame.
