Scientiae Carnival #1 is over at Rants of a Feminist Engineer. It's a compilation of some thought-provoking posts on women in science and engineering. (Which reminds me--I am totally psyched for a seminar being held one week from today at the university next door by a Famous Female Scientist. Hopefully, I'll be able to find parking...)
Scientific Literacy Happens. Yeah, but some students whine anyway even if you give them a bit of freedom in the labs. Especially non-biology or non-microbiology majors want those step-by-step recipes. People don't particularly want to think in a subject they're not interested in.
