Not so long ago I got sent Automatic Lover by it’s author Ariadne Tampion. She called it a steamy love story for geeks. Now one thing I will say before I go any further, this is not a book for young children. Personally I’d give it an over 16 age limit. The story line is [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/set/science/book-review-automatic-lover/feed 0 http://girlygeekdom.com/set/science/first-female-president-of-the-rsc-shes-scottish http://girlygeekdom.com/set/science/first-female-president-of-the-rsc-shes-scottish#comments Fri, 25 Mar 2011 15:30:59 +0000 Sarah http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=18605
Back when I was still at university (a while ago now) I got invited to a Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) black tie event in London at the National Gallery as a friend of a scientist. The event was interesting but one thing that did strike me there was that there weren’t may female scientists [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/set/science/first-female-president-of-the-rsc-shes-scottish/feed 0 http://girlygeekdom.com/set/science/first-female-awarded-young-scientist-of-the-year http://girlygeekdom.com/set/science/first-female-awarded-young-scientist-of-the-year#comments Wed, 23 Mar 2011 11:00:11 +0000 Sarah http://girlygeekdom.com/set/science/first-female-awarded-young-scientist-of-the-year
Every year young scientists and engineers put together interesting and exciting projects in the hope that they will achieve the accolade of national scientist or engineer of the year.  Until now this has always been won by men.  To date there had never been a single female winner, but this year everything has changed!  For [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/set/science/first-female-awarded-young-scientist-of-the-year/feed 0 http://girlygeekdom.com/events/science-hackday-guardian/ http://girlygeekdom.com/events/science-hackday-guardian/#comments Mon, 10 May 2010 09:41:45 +0000 Sarah http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=6853
The Guardian have recently announced that they are running a Science Hackday at their London offices.  There are already plenty of interesting attendees signed up but I think they need the help of all the geeks out there to get the word out to more girl science geeks! They have a great list of [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/events/science-hackday-guardian/feed/ 0 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GirlyGeekdom/~3/eo1gPXsC7U8/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GirlyGeekdom/~3/eo1gPXsC7U8/#comments Thu, 18 Mar 2010 10:00:21 +0000 Sarah http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=5771
Next Thursday, March 25, 2010, AAUW will release a new report, Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, which focuses on innovative ways to help girls and women succeed in these fields. In an era when women are increasingly prominent in medicine, law, and business, why are there [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/education/aauwresearchse/feed/ 0 http://girlygeekdom.com/education/studentville-alternative-digital-photo-frame/ http://girlygeekdom.com/education/studentville-alternative-digital-photo-frame/#comments Tue, 16 Mar 2010 10:30:00 +0000 Sarah http://girlgeekdinners.com/girlygeekdom/?p=566
Some years ago I got a Digital Photoframe, and recently it’s just been used for pictures but it got me thinking about how I used to use it.  So far this is what I’ve come up with: Photoframe FlashCards – help you to remember stuff!

If you remember, last year brought the very first Ada Lovelace Day, Founded by Suw Charman-Anderson where loads and loads of bloggers, male and female wrote about their geeky, science, technology and mathematical inspirations.  Well it’s coming back round again. Keep the 24th March at the forefront of your mind for a blog post about who [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/education/ada-lovelace-inspirations-pledge/feed/ 0 http://girlygeekdom.com/education/education-legally-blonde-the-musical/ http://girlygeekdom.com/education/education-legally-blonde-the-musical/#comments Wed, 10 Feb 2010 20:14:17 +0000 Sarah http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=3637
A number of weeks back I was invited along to Legally Blonde the Musical, it was the Gala evening and all the stars were out in support of the event. I was fortunate enough to be there as a result of the event sponsor Veuve du Vernay, who also sponsored the evening Gala. The reason [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/education/education-legally-blonde-the-musical/feed/ 0 http://girlygeekdom.com/news/womenspeakers/ http://girlygeekdom.com/news/womenspeakers/#comments Thu, 04 Feb 2010 19:02:09 +0000 Sarah http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=3745
We are still seeing significantly less women than men on the speaker circuits in the technology industry.  Whilst many conference organizers aren’t too worried about this, there are a few who are looking to make change happen in this area.  Andy Budd of Clearleft is one of these.  He’s been working with developers for years [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/news/womenspeakers/feed/ 0 http://girlygeekdom.com/education/what-do-skiing-snowboarding-c-have-in-common/ http://girlygeekdom.com/education/what-do-skiing-snowboarding-c-have-in-common/#comments Sun, 31 Jan 2010 12:50:22 +0000 Sarah http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=2901
A short while ago I came across a fantastic little tweet courtesy of my lovely followers!  It was all about a new board game which I’m hoping to get my hands on to review and see how good it is.  In essence it’s a board game that teaches the fundamentals of object orientated programming through [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/education/what-do-skiing-snowboarding-c-have-in-common/feed/ 0
