Following on from the Tim Hunt scandal, regardless of how it turns out for Hunt himself, it would be a wasted opportunity, in my opinion, if more was not done to make some significant changes in women's representation in science.
The question is, how can this be achieved?
Personally, I do not know, so I would be interested if anyone knows of any science available that would point to some concrete answers.
On a more personal note, I was teaching a young girl who is about 9 or 10 years old who had written in her diary that I was marking that she had taken a trip to the Osaka Science Museum and now wants to become a scientist. I was happy to read this but was not sure what I should write back except to say that that was a wonderful dream to have and that I hoped she would work hard to achieve her dream. Is there anything more specific that I should write, or other ways in which to give her encouragement?
