But I ran across this comprehensive blog post on the challenges faced by female science bloggers, and thought it was interesting with a lot of relevance to academia in general. The other thing I love about it is that it lets women bloggers speak for themselves, instead of making assumptions or generalizations. So check it out!
An excerpt:
Why isn’t there a girl version of Ed Yong or Carl Zimmer? Why is there no woman in the elite list of the most well known science bloggers? The excuse that there aren’t enough high-quality female science writers just doesn’t cut it anymore. They’re out there, and they have been for years. Incredible women like Sheril Kirshenbaum have been standing up and taking the full brunt of the internet’s misogyny with the utmost grace. [link added by me]
