Links - 4/14/2014

To tide everyone over while I work on my next few posts, here are some science-related links I found interesting last week.

It is because it has been. Why are there so few women in tech?  This parable has the answer.

Be the egg.  Ever wanted to go through a Rube Goldberg machine?  According to this new GoldieBlox video, that's what happens if you study STEM. Although followers know that I prefer inclusive marketing of tech toys over toys aimed exclusively at girls, this is pretty good.

Wired has a new model for scientific lingo. Wired says the terms "hypothesis," "theory," and "scientific law" should not be used - instead we should talk about "models."  Do you agree?

"People didn't invent this stuff because they were bored." This is quite harsh (and uses some R-rated language), but it makes the point that being bad at math is not a badge of honor.

Oh, YouTube comments. Brain Scoop's Emily Graslie tackles sexism related to her YouTube channel.

Have some good STEM-related links?  Post them in the comment section or send me a message.
