“I don't know of any science writing going on in women's magazines, unless you count medical stories about things like breast cancer. I still think there's a huge problem about how we can actively engage a wider range of women. I'm not saying women must be a separate audience - I'm just responding to the reality that the majority of people who do read science magazines are male. That's not a value judgment; it's a statistical fact.” PeopleThinkingWritingProblemRealityValuesAudienceJudgmentCancerMedicalBreast Cancer Author:Margaret Wertheim
“Mathematicians are proud of the fact that, generally, they do their work with a piece of chalk and a blackboard. They value hand-done proofs above all else. A big question in mathematics today is whether or not computational proofs are legitimate. Some mathematicians won't accept computational proofs and insist that a real proof must be done by the human hand and mind, using equations.” MindRealDoneTodayValuesAcceptingProudMathematicsMathematician Author:Margaret Wertheim
