Glad to see how they've tackled the fundamental issue for women in science - how to cope with a career structure that demands extremely long hours (writing grants, supervising students, admin, writing papers, and finally - actually doing science) and no career breaks at exactly the point when women who want children need to get pregnant.

Oh wait, no, they haven't at all. What a surprise. Hmm

The FB page is much better than the video.

salpetric acid and way too long artificial nails don't mix well. Unless horrible fumes and a bubbly look is what you aim for. I know that from experience Blush/

Abysmal video, worse than I expected from looking at the facebook page which actually looked quite positive.

Holy crap. Who the hell is this intended for? Who is their audience?

Of course, girls are only interested in science so they can make more make up and nail varnish. Didn't you know that?

Did you like the bit where they put down their sunglasses and picked up the lab goggles? Did you get it? Did you?

I was expecting there to be a pink test tube. But it was actually a pink petri dish, so it has certainly exceeded my expectations of the level of novel thought that went into the making of this video.
