All of my friends live near each other.
For them, it’s like,
“Hey bro, wanna come over?”
“Aight bro, lemme just cross the street.”
For me, it’s like,
“Hey bro, wanna come over?”
“Aight bro, lemme just cross the bridge to Terabithia, take the shortcut through Narnia, run through the Shire, crawl through Mordor, take the detour around District 12, and stop by Hogwarts to get groceries.”
…so true…

Girls in STEM
It’s not a secret that women (and pretty much any minority group) have uphill battle after uphill battle facing them when it comes to succeeding in math, science and engineering fields. Some of these are explicit (like the tilted playing field of the tenure system, which could take 100 years to level out), and some are more obscured (like the quiet social pressures that push them away from science). But what is clear is that it does not have to be the case.
I was really struck by this infographic’s ability to capture how quickly and precipitously women drop out of many fields of science once social pressures begin to take over.
I hope that projects like ScienceCheerleader, IAmScience, DoubleXScience and This Is What A Scientist Looks Like (<- bonus points if you can find me on that one) can continue to make this image a relic of the past and not a picture of the future.

I am the 29.3%. I’ll have to tell Arielle that women in a math related profession is so rare that they didn’t even bother to put that shit on here…she’ll be proud =)
A boy left his bike chained to a tree when he went away to war in 1914. He never returned, leaving the tree no choice but to grow around the bike.

I’ve always thought there should be a word for this, like “dendrophagy.” But dendrophagy is taken for when things eat trees…so what do we call it when trees eat things?
Amazing!!
