This is just a quick post to say sorry I haven’t been posting much lately, and that I won’t be up until about a weeks time, as I’m trying to get through my AS exams, and as you probably know, Tumblr is the most distracting website ever:P

Business as usual soon, however! Love you all

Man you know when you hear a really good song for the first time and you just listen to it over and over like you’re acquainting yourself with a new friend


On Melancholy Hill

Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill


Well you can’t get what you want
But you can get me
So let’s set up and see
‘Cause you are my medicine
When you’re close to me
When you’re close to me

So call in the submarine
‘round the world will go
Does anybody know
If we’re looking out on the day
Of another dream

If you can’t get what you want
Then you come with me

A new study from Social Studies of Science… reveals that when men chair committees that select scientific awards recipients, males win the awards more than 95% of the time. This new study also reports that while in the past two decades women have begun to win more awards for their scientific achievements, compared to men, they win more service and teaching awards and fewer prestigious scholarly awards than would be expected based on their representation in the nomination pool.

Women’s scientific achievements often overlooked and undervalued

This is a problem. The authors of the study don’t argue that there’s a sexist conspiracy to prevent the ascent of women, and I wouldn’t either. But the findings mean that we have to take into account the bias that undoubtedly exists in our society, and which scientists aren’t immune from.
