Cambridge Science Fair - Is there a female brain?

[BestLaidPlans]

This sounds like it could be quite good, thought I'd flag it up in case any Cambridge people were about and interested

16th March 5-6pm; more details on p6 of this

I hadn't thought of it like that, good point. I'd just assumed the question was framed that way because it had been organised by the Women's Word Fest.

Are they having a session on whether or not there is a male brain or are they just examining the 'other'?

Oooh. That looks brilliant. I'll try and go. Thanks for highlighting.

Well no there is no 'last word,' but sometimes it is presented as such.

Don't think there is such a thing as the "last word" on any of this, but Cordelia Fine is well worth reading all the same. It sounds interesting: alas, I'm nowhere near Cambridge.

Dammit Elephants, you've spoiled the ending . Yes, it is a discussion panel type thing. One of the women involved has done some really interesting work in neuropsychiatry, so it shouldn't be any of the usual "girls like pink because of the colour of the berries they gathered while their men were out hunting" bollocks.

I don't think Cordelia Fine is the last word on 'the subject. It sounds interesting op

Nope. See either "Pink Brain, Blue Brain" or "Delusions of Gender" - both highly recommended.

Easy, no.

Nah, and we don't have souls either. Bummer eh? :o
