OMG. There are super HOT women in science and engineering.

By | November 13, 2008 | News, Uncategorized | 4 Comments

Here’s one of many. (Thanks for the leads James@procheerleaderblog.com who interviewed me a few months ago.) Summer Williams (believe it or not, that’s her real first name) is an aerospace engineer at NASA and former professional cheerleader.

Soon, you’ll find a “Hot Women in Science and Engineering” photo gallery here on Science Cheerleader. I aim to please. Nominations are encouraged. I hope this inspires more girls to take a second look at science and engineering as a career. I suspect it might turn more guys onto the fields, as well. ;)

    One hopes your photo figures prominently in that gallery. Oops – did I actually say that out loud? I really need to work on that internal dialogue.

    Darlene,

    Science Cheerleaders: nice site, nice concept.

    Ever get Science Librarians involved with your activities?

    The American Library Association (ALA, ~66K members) and the Special Libraries Association (SLA, ~12K members) have dedicated sections devoted to science topics. I am a member of many of them, and currently am the co-Chair of the ALA Task Force on the Environment.

    If interested in what we are doing, send me a reply. I, too, have a strong interest in bring STM (science, technology, medical information/literature) issues into a context for greater understanding by the general public, including non-scientists in elected position in government from local to national levels.

    You get a better picture of my background, by looking at my professional Website below. BTW I did my MS in Library and Information Science at Syracuse University, where I picked up a TERRIBLE addiction to NCAA Div. I basketball. Saw MANY games, when student tickets were dirt cheap (and I was working full time at the Syracuse Research Corporation). I was on hand to close games at Manley Field House and open the Carrier Dome.
