Power to the X2

On my fourth grade report card I remember reading the comment, "Miss Titmouse should try to be more lady-like!"

Ah the good ol' days, when men were astronauts, doctors, warriors, and scientists while women were nurses, teachers, and secretaries.

Where were things like this when I was seven? Why was I denied some schooling in the ways of power? What kind of horrid, unjust society cripples half its citizens?

It's very warming to see young women now unselfconciously slicing and dicing through that which must be defeated. I refer to such mighty beings as the beloved ERV.

ERV aka Abbie Smith is a grad student studying HIV and epigenetic control of endogenous retroviruses. She's also a founding member of the Justice League. Together with her trusty companion, Arnold Schwarzenegger, she sniffs out evil pseudoscientists, liars, and witless 'tards. Then she noms upon them heartily for the sake of science and all humankind.

  9. Totally agree doc, one awesome lady. I am so happy she has been assimilated by the scienceborg collective as it is much easier to comment there than on her previous blog. I also think Abbie will have some serious competition in the coming years with the Etha, another up and coming awesome lady who has just appeared from nowhere like a supernova on Pharyngula. Glorious youth, with such as these our future has possibilities. Then again, sadly , we need every one of them to help beat back the TARDS.
