A new initiative from the Equality Group at the department is to use this forum to recommend interesting and thought-provoking equality-themed articles, blog posts, etc.
We recommend this article that was recently published in Nature:
Science and sexism: In the eye of the Twitterstorm
It discusses the role that social media in general, and Twitter specifically, can have in shaping the debate around gender issues in science. We like the article because it gives a balanced view of the strengths and limitations of what social media can accomplish in this area. Check it out!
