Interview with me up on FastCoLabs
Today is a good day: I get to be famous for being snarky!
There's a short interview with me up on FastCoLabs today, regarding my (in)famous slideshare presentation about women, biology, and computer science.
She did a nice job of trimming down my original answers, but I am sad that she missed the part where I said I didn't answer the question about what does cause the disparity in my slideshare presentation because half the point of the presentation was to get people to think rather than mindlessly accept shortened arguments with good face validity. (The corollary being that there's a meta-joke in the presentation because it is a shortened argument with good face validity.)
I edited out some of the other snarky things I said before I sent 'em. It's probably just as well. ;)
Anyhow, in case anyone reading this hasn't seen the original presentation before, I'll just embed it here:
In case the embed doesn't show up for you, here's a link: How does biology explain the low numbers of women in computer science? Hint: it doesn't.
Enjoy!
