I don't like how Twitter forgets what I've said eventually. So I plan to try a semi-frequent round-up of my favourite Twitter links/Tweets from the week. Here goes Faster-Than-Light Neutrino Puzzle Claimed Solved by Special Relativity  http://techre.vu/oAzeWr  (via  @ TechReview ) Mathematician and mother - October 2011 - GetSET Women Blog - The UKRC:  http://bit.ly/oz3odx @telescoper : The Astronomy Career Problem - it starts with the PhD http://wp.me/pko9D-3i6 (and related to this check out the astrojc for this week - on the problems with Scientific Careers ) @NtlSTEMCentre : Talking to pupils about  # STEM  careers? Have you seen our collection of  # TeachersTV  videos which may help? http://ow.ly/6W3Wd @cosmicpinot  (which is Brian Schmidt): Adam Riess - on NPR playing a game after the Nobel Prize Announcement -  http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=141167268&m=141167610http://twi...

A great idea by @alicebell and @allinthegutter to make lists of women scientists to follow (as part of Ada Lovelace Day).  Alice Bell's Ada list Emma's List Other great Ada Lovelace Themed links from Twitter Emm y Noether and Symmetry Free iPad Application " Lovelace and Babbage "

Today is Ada Lovelace Day - a day named after a women who is widely believed to have been the worlds first computer programmer. You can read more about it at  " Finding Ada " a website which is soliciting stories about inspirational women in science.  Coincidentally (I think) my former PhD thesis advisor, Martha Haynes , posted the below picture on Facebook today in response to a post by another of her former students about how male dominated Physics colloquia (and the business lounge of Lufthansa Airlines) both are. This is a picture of ALL of the 1989 winners of ALL awards from the (US) National Academy of Sciences. This was the year that Martha and her collaborator (and husband) Riccardo Giovanelli won the Henry Draper Medal "For the first three-dimensional view of some of the remarkable large-scale filamentary structures of our visible universe." The 1989 Winners of ALL Awards from the (US) National Academy of Sciences   Martha is easy to spot - the only winner...
