Dr. Caroline Breitenberger spoke with us in class about women in science. I found this to be an interesting topic because I feel like it’s very common to see male doctors, scientists, or just males in the upper level jobs. Thankfully, this has slowly started to change in the more recent years. Learning about women in science thought me that even though none of them worked by themselves, there were still women who played a vital role in the field. It’s interesting how I have never heard of these women in any previous class or text book. There is no reason that women are any different than men, especially in the mind aspect, and I cannot wait to see more women with life changing discoveries.
It does seem that many of the accomplishments of women are absent from typical science education. It s my belief that this class fills in that niche to some degree. I think you are correct that women are as or more capable of men when it comes to the sciences and, hopefully, that fact will be more appreciated going into the future.
