Although I am annoyed that the majority of the posts
seem to celebrate a very narrow representation of femininity, my real bitterness comes from the
systemic challenges that these posts are working to address, and from seeing so many young female scientists compelled to turn to their personal social media pages to try to correct the system's failures.
The simultaneously good and
challenging news is that these shifts
seem to require more a change of will than an increase in dollars, and can be accomplished both within the context of a broad,
systemic model, or relatively simply, under the auspices of an enlightened administration and faculty.
