You presented such a broad span of media representations of female scientists and made insightful comments about each one.<br /><br />I enjoyed how you presented contrasting images of female scientists from the current media versus more historical photos. There certainly is a noticeable difference. There is no doubt that the vast majority of female scientists in today's media are young, attractive women, though the female characters in the scientist facet are generally more "covered" in regards to their clothing than women in other branches of the media. Denise Richards should get as free pass because landing the role of a Bond woman is a deathtrap for portraying female professionalism and decency.<br /><br />It was also interesting how you pointed out the fact that when females scientists appear in the media, they are generally accompanied by a male colleague of equal or greater status, while males appear everywhere in the media as the top minds in their organizations.<br /><br />Very nicely done!<br /><br />Your Blog Buddy,<br />Jeff Blanchardjeffspeakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13358773192516216870noreply@blogger.com
