women in science
I’m loving my job, but something strange dawned on me the other day. Almost everyone I’ve met through work are women! Here’s the list: Marlene (my PI), Diane (my boss), Mary and this other woman (secretaries), Rose (BU Personnel), three BU people who trained me, three women my age who work in the memory lab down the hall, their PI, three more women who have their own offices down the hall, the entire geriatric lab on the other side of my floor, Trinity (my coworker at MGH), one of two PI’s at MGH, and two of three lecturers for the neuropsyc class I’m taking! The men are: the other MGH PI, one geriatric researcher, two computer guys, and one lecturer. The score?
Women: 26 Men: 5
Of the people I actually talk to regularly, ten are women and two are men. That whole women in science thing has gotta be bogus. I mean, this is 84% women here.
It's a beautiful early fall day. I'm still scouting out apts to move to, but I'm waiting for the perfect one. Tomorrow I'm going to Mt. Monadnock with my housemates and friends. Woohoo!
