reblogging is in!

It is interesting — or should I say boring — when I go from one of my most favourite blogs to another and discover the same piece of information ,or the same set of photos, being reblogged in a different format, different comments and different context?
Almost the same way as news travels, depending who gets in touch of the original piece of information first. And everyone else soon follows, reposts, reblogs, etc...
So, I am not feeling bed ever again for not being original in my posts!
Reblog is the thing! Everyone does it!
Happy reblogging!
ps. Check the blogs I am following, most of them have a lot of content in common, if not the same, just reposted in a different order. Am I right? Tell me...

Blogging out of Balance

SEVERAL INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENTS HAVE REACHED IDENTICAL CONCLUSIONS: IN THE SCIENCE BLOGOSPHERE, MEN SIGNIFICANTLY OUTNUMBER WOMEN. IS THIS EVIDENCE OF DISCRIMINATION?


Could the disparity in numbers of bloggers be related to a difference in the underlying population of scientists? A recent report (PDF) by the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) showed that in 2009, women received more PhDs than men in the U.S. But do those numbers hold for science PhDs as well?


While men do slightly outnumber women in science, math, and engineering PhDs, the disparity in numbers is much smaller than the disparity we see on the major blogging networks, including ResearchBlogging, where male bloggers outnumber female bloggers by over three to one in the same fields as the CGS report. 


Of course, even though women have nearly drawn equal with men in earning science PhDs, men still far outnumber women in tenured- and tenure-track positions. At MIT, for example, a 2006 report found no department with more than 30 percent women faculty, and just three of six with more than 20 percent women. Could this male dominance in the upper echelons of academe be discouraging women from blogging?

Welcome to our 'Scent of a Woman' Blog!

So here we go... I am blogging now! Any suggestions? What to do here, what to publish? These photos below were taken during our 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver British Columbia.
Proud to be Canadian!
