Being a scientist has nothing to do with gender or race. Science is all about methodically seeking the truth. Take your curiosities and get your science on.

Watch this Science Rap and more on my YouTube Channel: Coma Niddy University.

Coma Niddy delivers some crucial truth. Happy we share PBS Digital Studios science lab space together.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A version for tumblr that can be read without opening a new tab, since plenty of people would scroll past this story otherwise.

Never take your rights, or your education, for granted. Happy International Women’s Day.

7-Year-Old Zora Ball Is the World’s Youngest Game Programmer

The youngest person to create a full version of a mobile application video game. A first grader at Philadelphia’s Harambee Institute of Science and Technology Charter School, she’s already more accomplished than everyone you know.

Ball built the app in the Bootstrap programming language, and unveiled her game at FATE’s “Bootstrap Expo” at the University of Pennsylvania.

Apparently some grumpy olds were suspicious that her older brother was really the mastermind behind the program, but Zora showed them. When asked to reconfigure the app on the spot, Ball showed naysayers what was up when she executed the request perfectly.

“We expect great things from Zora, as her older brother, Trace Ball, is a past STEM Scholar of the Year,” said Harambee Science Teacher Tariq Al-Nasir. No pressure, baby geniuses, but there’s an entire world for you to save. Please hurry.

Calling All Geek Girls! Apply for the Huffington Post's STEM Mentorship Program

Calling All Geek Girls! Apply for the Huffington Post's STEM Mentorship Program:

world-shaker:

jtotheizzoe:

It’s well-established that women face social pressures that push them away from pursuing science as a life passion. It’s also well-established that women who do stay in science face discrimination all the way up the ladder. Women are 50 percent of the population but hold less than a quarter of STEM jobs.

Young ladies, HuffPo has your back. Check it out:

Dear Geek Girls,

We were there once — making a decision about which career path to choose can be a source of great anxiety, especially in tough economic times like these. But having someone on your side to coach you through, and give you practical advice without judgement can make all the difference in the world.

HuffPo Science is offering young ladies 14-21 the chance to be mentored by a female scientist, to show you the ropes and keep you motivated to achieve your goals. Applications are due Jan 31st, so apply here today!

Big round of applause to them for this effort.

Signal Boost. Seems like something really positive to share with your high school students.

I’ve seen my share of “fake geek girl” shaming, and just thought having a Fairy Gamer Momma to come to the rescue would be nice. I know they exist, I’ve met plenty who are amazing and could beat my ass at any version of Mario Kart. Give the Gamer Momma in your life a big hug! :D

I love this. LOVE. Plus, I know some ladies who would be excellent Gamer Mommas. (I wouldn’t, I’ve never played video games.)

My mother played Galaga in college when it was new. To this day, she consistently kicks my ass at it. She’s fifty-five years old, five feet even, less than a hundred pounds, and nothing but muscle and brains. She kicks my ass at Galaga, Pac-Man, Arm Wrestling, Air Hockey, Pool, Basketball, Badminton (though not so much anymore because of her bad back), and probably countless other things I’m too scared to challenge her to play.

Damn right, Gamer Mommas.

THIS IS THE BEST THING

Amazing.

Great insights with some very helpful resources at the bottom.

There are an endless number of posts out there giving their perspective on what it takes to be an entrepreneur, how to run a startup, how to succeed, and all of that crap we heard from Tony Robbins. Once you announce you’re doing something in the tech world, the hangers come out of the woodwork…
