That said, I don't understand all the hate directed at her. I loved watching semi-dangerous demos as a student, like my undergrad professor who used to fill balloons with hydrogen and light them with a match taped to the end of a yardstick.KTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-76463831878975554622022-07-13T13:07:05.015-04:002022-07-13T13:07:05.015-04:00Yeah not a fan of Kate's.

I am also aim to encourage more young women to explore STEM, but I met her once and she explained that her look and messaging is focused on "you don't have to be drab to be a female scientist". As if folks in science aren't held to the same (flawed) beauty standards as everyone else. It's also misdirected effort, as thin, white pretty girls who want to dress up aren't really the underrepresented demographic we should be worried about. Maybe that makes her a more effective, albeit in an outdated way, entertainer?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-86007590868908992252022-07-13T12:09:10.069-04:002022-07-13T12:09:10.069-04:00Seems like a garbage gig.

I don't doubt you'll make more money but just seems like Bill Nye 2.0 who ultimately is a know-nothing entertainer as well. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
