We can and we do

I just did an interview with the awesome Ms. Information, Donna Mugavero. We had a great time chatting. The result is up at SheThought.com here.

Hello! My eyes are up here.

We have a ways to go for true parity for women in science and skepticism but it looks like we are pretty far ahead of some other folks…

The tilted playing field

I’ve been at a leadership training event for women for the past two days. It’s sent my mind off on various tangents – about being a leader in other movements (like the skeptical community), taking risks, and the validity of these psychological assessments that are the foundation of the class. Primarily, I couldn’t quite figure out if/why we still needed a Leadership academy for WOMEN exclusively. Shouldn’t we be owning equality rather than exclusivity?

Then, I heard a few things that answered that issue.
