- At Flickr, you can now browse or add your image to the group This is What a Computer Scientist Looks Like, featuring images of contemporary computer scientists, mostly women.
- The Anita Borg Institute has posted videos of the winners of their 2011 Women of Vision award: Chieko Asakawa, Mary Lou Jepsen, and Karen Panetta
- Futurity discusses subtle (and probably unintentional) gendering in job ads through the use of words like “competitive”/“dominant” (coded male) or “compassionate”/“nurturing” (coded female).
- Under The Microscope posts about a high school Women in Technology club that increased retention of girls in the computer science program by providing a social support network.
- Gail at The Female Perspective of Computer Science discusses the ways computer science is relevant to other academic realms.
