Women have been winning Nobel Prizes ever since. In fact, one woman, Bertha von Suttner was influential in convincing Alfred Nobel to establish a Prize for Peace. Women have won Prizes in all categories with the exception of Economics (which was established in 1968 and first awarded in 1969). Feel free to let your opinions be heard on how we can increase the role of women in the Arts & Sciences on our public forum!.

  3. Dr. Anna Kushnir is writing this letter to technology magazine Wired, in order to express her surprise about female professors in universities outnumbered by men. She is also sharing her experience that they were 7 women and 1 man in the academy during the courses; however number of professors in the academy is suddenly 48 to 7 women. Why do these women go? Why won’t they become professors? Favorite comment of the macho scientists – “well, women are not meant to be scientists” – which is definitely out of any discussion. A simple example; In Italy women are dominating in biomedicine sphere. Just read the blog and give some comments; http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/05...are-senior.html
  4. I think it is not a trend out of the movie ''Juno'' because in the movie the girl doesn't want her baby, looking for a family that can adopt her baby. I will have to agree though, it is not normal for a 16 year old girl to think that having a baby would be - cool, meaningful, independence gate etc. I think those girls don't have anything better to do/ any other ambitions..it is sad. Instead they should try to create more activities for those kids. When I was 16, all I wanted to do is travel around Europe with my friends, and that's what I did. It is unbelievable why people think it's ok for a 16 year old girl to want to have a baby.

    I am confused about pic authorisation too. I just uploaded couple of pictures of mine in the "Member Pictures" thread. Did anyone see them ? Or Did I fail to upload them ?
  7. I know from a friend from Dubai that boys are being educated to work abroad in early ages so they can send money to their families / that's how they get wealthier... so even if there won't be enough indian girls, they will find someone to marry in abroad... which is quiet popular among them -_- Actualy this indian guy speaks english perfectly / lives in Prague / and is married to a Polish friend of mine.
  8. this is highly barbaric ...very disgusting...these people are out of their minds, they should be closed in a nut-house

    It sounds like it will be a different album - a not so typical one for Pink :S
  10. “Why should I care what other people think of me? I am who I am. And who I wanna be.”“To understand me, you have to meet me and be around me. And then only if I'm in a good mood - don't meet me in a bad mood.”“I don't believe war is a way to solve problems. I think it's wrong. I don't have respect for the people that made the decisions to go on with war. I don't have that much respect for Bush. He's about war, I'm not about war - a lot of people aren't about war.”“I'm just coming out and I'm going to clearly be myself - I write what I feel, I never worry what others think.”“i dont want to be compared to britney,ashlee,hilary or lindsay. i want to be compared to me.”“I liked being a minor because you can't get into trouble. Now I just have to try and behave myself.”“People are like, 'Well, she doesn't know the Sex Pistols.' Why would I know that stuff? Look how young I am. That stuff's old, right?”“My dream was always to hop up on stage in front of my fans every night and perform.”“Life is like a roller coaster, live it, be happy, enjoy life.”“I'm the kind of person who always likes to be doing something.”
  11. I remember how great it was listening Roxette - Joyride album.
  12. lol i guess Dan. wants to suggest that Bjork is a musical genius :D

    The video is very boring and the song sounds strange. :/ I didn't like it.
  17. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErgicH5zL00...feature=related Seriously, I can't stop singing this song, not getting out of my head ^_^ She is really talented. Kerli is from Estonia, see her interviews on youtube.
  18. I think we are talking about musical geniuses , not talents. Madonna is definitely not a musical genius. She did not bring a whole different meaning to - Music-.
  19. The guy sounds hilarious. How difficult can it be ? This is not ballet, right ? :D Anyways, he should see Sofia - Capital city of Bulgaria. It is too dangerous to go around with a bike, the traffic is too aggressive. It is like fast and furious scene everyday out there. Then he wouldn't talk about cycling lessons :D I am taking driving lessons and I have to drive aggressive to be able to deal in this traffic :)) Though, good for Bristol ...
  20. You are right. They do make it sound unattractive even to women... However, some feminist points are a little bit too much that's why I didn't want to sound like one. Women are great but Men are human too, even though they were the reason to seclude women and block their ways to improve themselves ( talking about early ages - when Mozart, Beethoven were improving)

  24. I can count numerous female artists with that same quality, however no one entitles them as " musical genius' ". I think the main reason for this must be the fact that people tend to pay too much attention to how female artists look and criticize their every step, pay too much attention to their personal life than they do to male artists - I think this is the exact reason and it is called lack of respect. I hate to sound like a feminist here but this is the truth. And this is not only in entertainment sphere.
  25. :heart: Avril Lavigne: Five Fun Facts :heart: 1. Avril Lavigne learned how to use a Weedwacker at age 12 and earned $15 a yard as a lawn landscaper. 2. In 1999, Avril Lavigne won a radio contest to sing a duet with Shania Twain in Ottawa. "As soon as I walked out in front of 20,000 people, I'd never smiled so much in my life – it was like perma-smile," she told EW. "I thought, 'this is what I'm going to do with my life.'" 3. Avril Lavigne earned ''Most Valuable Player'' honors two years in a row as the right-wing on a Napanee, Ontario hockey team. She once beat up a goalie and said of the experience, "It was awesome!" 4. Though her style sense has changed since her early career, Avril Lavigne still loves to wear black nail polish. 5. On Avril Lavigne's wedding day, her chauffeur drove her to the wrong California estate, where another wedding was being held. Thankfully, the driver of her vintage Rolls Royce quickly found the right location.
