Women have the same education as men so...?

Question

What notable advances have they made in the last 30 years to technology an science?

Answer 1

I don't know about technology and science but those "tramp stamp" things really took off you see them everywhere.

Answer 2

I don't know and don't much care.  Women tend to be less interested in science and technology than men are.

What notable advances have you made in science and technology?

Answer 3

You ever had a pie or brownies that you absolutely loved and had to have more.  YEA a woman made those.  Probably.

Answer 4

women came from fish

Answer 5

Are you all American men? Because that would explain a lot of what is going on here. You really don't know any women who have made any notable advances?

There's just a few for you to look over, instead of trying to "out do" each other and spout a bunch of bollocks; there are people Who DO work together for the better of the human race. Not just sit here saying how great they are and living off other people's accomphishments AHEM (who.)

Anyway, I m glad I have never known any men like you. I am so thankful I live in a progressive thinking Country.

Answer 6

Uhm... You do have a point. Women are hardworking, but their logical side doesnt really match the men's.

Answer 7

Sigh.

An extremely small sample of female scientists who have made notable advances in biology in the last 30 years:

Nancy Andrews – advances in processes of and treatment of iron disease.

Ruth Arnon – biochemist, co-developer of multiple sclerosis drug.

Deborah Charlesworth – British evolutionary biologist recognised as leader in her field (genetic self incompatibility in plants).

Pascale Cossart – bacteriologist, foremost authority on Listeria monocytogenes, the pathogen responsible for meningitis, gastroenteritis and other diseases. Her work has been vital in progressing our understanding of this pathogen and bacterial diseases generally.

Sylvia Earle – oceanographer, co-founder of Deep Sea Engineering, expert on impact of oil spills.

Elaine Fuchs – known for revolutionising the study of skin and developing skin stem cell research.

Carol Greider – co-discovered the enzyme telomerase and pioneered research on the structure of telomeres (the ends of chromosomes).

Elizabeth Blackburn – co-discovered telomerase. Discovery of role of telomeres in cancer and aging.

Judith Hall – world leader in genetics, research into congenital disorders.

Cynthia Kenyon – discovery that a single-gene mutation in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans could double its lifespan sparked an intensive study of the molecular biology of aging.

Mary-Claire King – geneticist, known for (i) identifying breast cancer genes, (ii) demonstrating that humans and chimpanzees are 99% identical, and (iii) applying genomic sequencing to identify victims of human rights abuses.

Edit – here’s a few more:

Rita Levi-Montalcini – neurologist, co-discovered nerve growth factor (NGF).

Philippa Marrack – research into T cells, discovery of superantigens, the mechanism behind toxic shock syndrome.

Anita Roberts – molecular biologist who made pioneering observations of the protein TGF-B (transforming growth factor beta) that is critical in healing wounds and has a role in blocking/stimulating cancers.

Joan Steitz – molecular biologist famed for insights into RNA.

Shirley Tilghman – leading molecular biologist, several discoveries concerning gene regulation.

Mayana Zatz – molecular biologist and geneticist, many discoveries concerning genetic diseases (mostly neuromuscular problems).

Interesting that many of the scientists I looked at are/were also advocates of human rights, feminism, reproductive choice and acceptance of homosexuality. Many of them have/had experienced sexism and discrimination throughout their working lives.

Answer 8

women are equal; but where is the track record?

Answer 9

1. The number of men in science still outweighs the number of women in science, therefore you're going to see more men who have significant achievements compared to women, just because of sheer participation numbers. But please note, scientific achievement is not the only way a person can be a productive and useful member of society.

2. Children. About 90% of American women will reproduce, and up to two-thirds of those women will take at least a year off, with over half taking more time, to spend with their children. In most cases, practicing science, let alone achieving great advancements, takes a significant amount of time out of one's personal life. Many women are unwilling to make this sacrifice because they choose to raise families instead. It is not because they are mentally incompetent.

3. But there are many notable women who have contributed to science. Why don't you take some time and look it up on any search engine.

Answer 10

I dont' know what advances men have made in technology and science in the past thirty years, but that doesn't mean because I haven't reserached or taken notice of it it doesn't exist.

Answer 11

The entire experience that is life is different for each gender, including education

Also, being intelligent/educated doesn't make you a scientist

Also being a great scientist doesn't mean you'll be in a position to contribute to technology

Yo' question sounds sexist D:
