Wifey's viewpoint...

We were visiting my sister & family a while ago, when brother-in-law suggested we might like a popular tv programme called 'big bang theory' or somesuch.

I have never seen so much mental diarrhoea in my feggin' life, the blokes are stereotypical nerds, and the 'eye candy' must be thick.

Sister and brother-in-law were surprised when we pointed out how these stereotypes may impact the development of their young girls...

Btw wifey has a Masters in Nuclear Medicine & Astrophysics (apols as I can't remem the exact wording).

More to the point she also on an almost-regular basis gives presentations to young kids, explaining the science and showing them animated live CT scan data and visualisations of how the Linear accelerator delivers the cancer treatment etc.

The feedback from the kids (especially girls) is awesome to behold.

Cheers,

Jay
