It’s all about attitude. The way a teacher greets her students when they walk in the classroom. The way she responds to their questions. The way she interacts with them both in a learning and social setting. When a student says that it isn’t possible to observe this exact moment, arguing that since the light has to travel to the...
Math. The one subject with the most stigma. The one subject that can elicit powerful emotions. Either you’re for or against. Either you love math or you hate it. Enjoying math and being good at it, is considered nerdy. The cool kids, on the other hand, gladly claim to be no good at math and they happily declare that it’s...
That spark in her eyes when she’s onto something. That determination when she has a project she’s working on. Nothing can stop her. She’s ready to take on the world. Let her. Encourage her. Don’t stand in her way saying that this is not for girls. We have to stop treating half the world’s population as second class citizens. We...
May is one of the most hectic months of the year, especially if you have kids. Recitals, concerts, excursions, field trips; everything seems to be happening at once. The kids need to bring an extra snack, the bicycle has to be at school, they have to bring their instrument to rehearse for the school graduation. Life seems to be rushing...
On your evening stroll through the house, you spot a dirty sock on the living room floor, some paintings on the bench in the hallway, gym clothes hanging in the bathroom. You just walk on by and sit yourself down with a cup of tea and read. If that’s you, congratulations, you’ve mastered the fine art of letting go and...
In the wake of the #metoo movement, there are several high profile men that have been called out on sexual abuse and even rape. Atrocities that they have committed for several years and people have known about it, or at least had very strong suspicions about what’s been going on. Why haven’t they been exposed earlier? How could they get...
We need more women in tech. No arguing there. But how do we achieve it? Why do so few women study tech subjects at the university and why are even fewer working within the tech industry? Are women not interested in tech? Or is there something else that explains the sorry lack of female voices in the industry? Research suggests...
Why is it that women have to make themselves look good? Why is it that most guys spend 2 minutes in the bathroom brushing their teeth while women spend 10x that time every morning getting ready for the day? The pattern repeats itself at bedtime when men once again spend only a few minutes, while women have to get the...
Gender. Gender inequalities. Gender differences. Always up for debate. You have to tread lightly to not step on someone’s toes. But sometimes that cannot be helped. Sometimes you have to voice your opinion even though not everyone will agree with you. Are gender differences due to biology? Or are they a social construct only? Perhaps a mix of the two?...
Do you have a daughter? Do you love her and want only the best for her? Do you think she’s a capable person that can accomplish anything that she sets her mind to? We all want our daughters to become the best person they can be, regardless of what they decide to pursue. The dilemma is that they’re running uphill...
