"Science: It's A Girl Thing" - Two Divergent Approaches

Carolyn Johnson of the Boston Globe reports on two very different approaches by two organizations (European Commission and Dartmouth University) on "selling the idea" that science is "a girl thing,"  providing links to their two videos.  The Science in Mind blog points out the need for increasing the numbers of women in STEM, referencing a Yale University study on scientific biases impacting gender disparities in the field.  http://www.boston.com/news/science/blogs/science-in-mind/2012/12/20/science-girl-thing/gfzk6sZFOheQFx7ugBZphO/blog.html
