- The New York Times writes this week about the challenges in getting ANY students to remain in scientific fields through high levels of education — with a lot more demand than supply for technically skilled workers, we can’t afford to alienate anyone.
- A post in the New Statesman outlines some of the many kinds of verbal abuse and threats women writing online often face; this hostile environment keeps many women from expressing themselves online in personal, professional, and political settings.
- The Anita Borg Institute writes on their blog about the business case for diversity in technical fields.
- Geek Feminism has a list of clean-up tasks they need help with on their very useful wiki.
- Under the Microscope highlights two deadlines coming up this month for seminar and fellowship opportunities for women in science.
- Also coming up is the deadline to apply for PITCH, a startup incubator directed at projects with at least one woman co-founder; thanks to a sponsorship, they’re offering 100 application spots for free, so there’s nothing to lose!
