Science: It's a Girl Thing! 3 Years Later...

( Disclaimer:  I maybe two or three years late, but this is still an important issue, so it wouldn't hurt to address it today.) I was “googl-ing” other science and/or chemistry blogs to read and I came across this video here: This video was published by the European Commission for a campaign designed to attract more women to a career in science. The commission said that the video had to "speak their language to get their attention" and that it was intended to be "fun, catchy" and strike a chord with young people. "I would encourage everyone to have a look at the wider campaign and the many videos already online of female researchers talking about their jobs and lives.”The original video was taken down after it received so many negative comments.
