Dr. Cerf [google's chief Internet Evangelist] said. "This is just a reminder that women are fully capable of doing same or better quality work than men can."
I somehow find this quote to be rather unfortunate. I know he meant it in a good way, but it makes it seem as though the general public needs to be reminded that women aren't less intelligent than men. Perhaps for many that reminder may be required, but I guess the fact that we need such a reminder saddens me. I would have preferred something like that not be mentioned. Or perhaps I would prefer that it need not be pointed out at all.
- catshirt 15y agowhile i agree, doesn't the entire article exist for the same reason as the quote?

"It just starts to show you that women are stepping up in science, and I’m excited that I was able to represent maybe just a little bit of that." I'm not sure where or who, exactly, but there are people who think that only men go into science. It's unfortunate, but apparently, this really is necessary.
