@warandpeas https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-28739373 oh shit that's in #iran so that doesn't count, sorry

@warandpeas@mastodon.social its funny but here in Russia there is small gender imbalance in science. No special code of conducts or anything.
The funny part that it is diffucult to work here: small salaries, too much buerocraty. For both genders.

She died far too young. So much more she could have achieved for the world.

@warandpeas Wenn du die Briefe zwischen Schiller und Goethe kennst, das würde so zu diesem Cartoon passen. Also, du könntest die beiden auch Schiller und Goethe nennen.

@warandpeas Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! The Seven of Wands says stand firm against bias, while Justice reminds you to act truthfully - perhaps host a playful science quiz that highlights women’s breakthroughs with fairness and joy.

@warandpeas
Ha?

@warandpeas This is so meta...

@warandpeas

I have a general question, and I'm going to start by flinging it at you.

Is there a CENTRAL RESOURCE, that you know of, anywhere, that stores women's contributions to Science and Technology since ever?

Is somebody trying to compile such a database? And make it publicly accessible?

There is STILL this prevailing, EVIL fantasy - and given my age and the environment I grew up in, I BELIEVED IT for a long time - that women were 'the minor contributors' all the way along.

@megatronicthronbanks @warandpeas If anymany has anything, please ping Us as well, We need it for evil purposes.
