dumb idea: reestablishing gender specific promotion like making equipment pink and hoping it will make young women interested in science.
good idea: focusing on showing science as a gender neutral activity without having to belittle women with the idea that 'pink n gurly thingz' are what make a female scientist. maybe then we'll see more girls get into STEM fields and not feel as if they have to act a certain way to keep in tune with the sexist gender binaries.
