Margo, look again. The headline reads “women in science and tech.” As last week’s New York Times reported, TED is working hard to address the gender imbalance that’s sadly endemic to tech conferences. Read how: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/04/world/europe/04iht-letter04.html?_r=3

LOL! That first video shows a really fluffed up version of science women. LOL. It looks like some kind of cheese-ball music video!!
Real science is hard work and endless failure. It’s not always glamourous either! (if ever). Digging through bat crap to see what it ate isnt really something you do while wearing your fave heels and a bright pink top… unless you are me. Hehe. But I dont generally dig through bat crap. That’s not my end of science. :D

ANYWAYS The response video is interesting but only because it protrays the sensitive ‘nerdy’ science girl. Which is also not the best image either because that is basically ‘glasses/ ponytail’ girl from She’s All That.

REAL science women are not afraid to fail and might be sensitive and wear their hair in a pony tail, but they are not meant to be type cast in this way. They have all the insecurities, imprefections, and scars that any other woman has. Just be who you are and do what you want..even if that means digging through bat crap while wearing heels or a full-body suit and mask. :)

I think your numbers just made the point: “Over 75+ TED talks by women.” out of a total of over a 1000 TED talks. When I go to the current page for TED talks, the front page shows me 18 men and 2 women. By any standard, your own numbers are lower than the average in pretty much every field.

Clearly shows that women are no less than men in any field.
