Subject: Do women do science differently than men?

Do women approach science differently than men?

I know this is a controversial question, and I am looking for 
both female and male scientists with articulate views on both
sides of this issue.

I am a reporter with Science magazine, and am preparing an article
dealing with this question for an upcoming special news section 
on women in science. 

Shirley Tilghman mentions in her op-ed piece in the New York 
Times today (1-26-83), that science is ``a men's game played 
by men's rules.'' It is easy to see how that applies to tenure 
guidelines and work hours and the like, but does it go 
deeper? Do women have different styles of conducting 
science, and even different intellectual approaches that may 
enrich their fields either through added diversity, or as 
an example men might want to learn from?

I know about some scholars such as Evelyn Fox Keller who deal 
with gender and science. I plan to include them in my article, and
would be happy to hear about more such scholars, but I am also 
looking for real-life examples to use in my article: 

For example: one prominent female scientist I know told me that
she works often in collaboration, but prefers to collaborate
with female scientists, because the collaborations are more
congenial and less competitive. She feels that in general, 
collaboration comes more easily to women than men. Are there 
other scientists who agree or disagree with all or parts of 
her position? I would like to hear from you.

I am looking for:

men or women who have compelling anecdotes about their 
experiences with female vs male scientists, and differences
or similarities in their styles of doing science,

examples of female scientists who have made important 
advances while intellectually swimming against a male-dominated 
tide of dogma. (Barbara McClintock is the person whose name 
always comes up in this context, but if there is validity 
to the point, there should be more.)

finally, for another article in the same issue, I am looking
for an example of a female mentor who has left her mark on
a field, by attracting and training female scientists. I have
heard that in some fields, particularly fields in which there
are few women, that one may find a clustering of women
in a sub-discipline, and that one can often trace their lineage 
back to a particularly influential mentor. I am looking for a 
compelling example of that phenomenon, particularly in a field
such as math or astronomy or physics, in which women are scarce.
(But life sciences aren't ruled out, if the case is striking
enough)


If you have suggestions of scientists who I should contact, or
if you would be willing to be interviewed yourself for my articles
or want to send me your comments for use in the articles, please 
e-mail me.

I have been following this thread with some interest.  I decided to attack the need for better science education by becoming involved in scouting, *especially* since I have no children of my own. At present, I lead a troop of 14 Brownie
Girl Scouts (1st-3rd graders).

Though I am not a professional scientist, I took a fair amount of science in
college.  I've been able to find a number of good books with activities
and explanations that are appropriate to the age group of my girls. Among
the best is a new book by Margaret Kenda and Phyllis S. Williams (ISBN
0-8120-4766-4).  Who could resist activities like "Creating Solar-Powered
Artwork,"Make Your Own Erupting Volcano," or "Create Your Own Electric
Lemon"?  Lending more scholarly insight to the problem of getting more kids
(male or female) interested in science is _They're Not Dumb, They're
Different: Stalking the Second Tier_ an "occasional paper" on neglected
problems in science education by Sheila Tobias (published 1990 by Research
Corporation--sorry, no ISBN).  My goal is to present science to my girls
in a way that it was never presented to me--as *fun*!

Though scouting is work, it is also fun, and when it comes to rewards, 
there's nothing like receiving a spontaneous, affectionate hug from 
one of my girls.

I have just read all the letters about early educationa and girls and I find it
fascinating and would like to add my input.
I have a feeling I'm younger than most of those posting (not even 20).
I grew up on a diary farm in Wisconsin and I decided i was going to do field
research like Jane Goddall (except with cats not primates) and I haven't given
up that dream yet.
Living on the farm I think was a very important factor for my devlopment.  I
learned to appreciate nature and myself.  I was an only child for five years 
and in that time I developed a very strong 'ME' streak.  this translates to:
I will have things my way.  Fortunately I've learned to control that a little
 but only when necessary.  Lower level school was pretty useless to me.  
Especially in the American system where it's pretty rotten (though my brothers
say it's improving).  I had one good bio teacher and one extremely bad one (he
 couldn't even pronounce words properly).  
I think the teachers that actually influenced me the most were my 4th grade
 teacher who helped me survive my parent's divorce and without his general
guidance I don't think I'd be here today and my english teacher in 11th and
 12 th grade, who both helped me sharpen my intellect and my tongue - for
which I will forever be grateful.
As to subconscious discrimination, I think that's is severly diminished now 
adays.  In my classes there are just as many silent men as women.  And there
 are women who just as vocal and listened to as the vocal males.  There seems
 to a growing tendency where men say alot without saying anything while women 
say things that are useful.
But that could be just my own personal experiences.
I also haven't ever gotten any 'you can't do this' garbage from anyone.  
Or I just don't hear it.My point:
I think what's most important is that individuality and self-confidence no
 matter what the field encouraged all through education but especially before
 junior high.  And get rid of the science teachers who are teaching because
they couldn't succeed in science so they went into teaching.  All my bad
teachers were post-college dropouts.  My good teachers enjoyed teaching and
choose to go into teaching not forced to.
Sorry this got so long.

I am looking for comments, bibliographies, experts, datasets, or case
histories on tree plantations on degraded land in developing countries.
I am particularly interested in the social and environmental impacts of
exotics e.g. acacia or eucalypts.  I am operating under the assumption
that both damages and benefits have been experienced, and that the 
effects are usually site-specific.

The paper I'm preparing is only about tree plantations on degraded land,
where native forests have not existed for sometime, although facts about
intentional replacement of native forests with plantations would be
useful.

Netters,
        I am currently working on a research project that involves generating
solid or geometric models from MRI images. Part of the procedure will require 
me to possibly perform Thresholding & Edge Detection on my MRI images in order
to find out which pixels lie on boundaries between two different regions. 
Thus, I would like to have an Image Processing Software package that has good 
Edge Detection and Classification ( Segmentation ) modules/routines.  
        I have heard a lot about Khoros ( University Of New Mexico) and 
PV-WAVE (Precision Visuals) and was curious if other professionals or students
had any experience on how good they are for the above purposes. Suggestions 
on other software packages are also much welcome.
