| 311.1 | why? | CADSYS::SULLIVAN | Karen - 225-4096 | Fri May 08 1987 14:56 | 4 |
|
Why should just women be interested in microscopy?

| I think the point that Martin is trying to make is;
this may be of interest to women (as well as men)
AND Lee has made valuable contributions to this notesfile.
(My opinion follows)
ALSO it is refreshing to see women lecturing at some of the Technical
Seminars.
I know there are *alot* of women that are technically competent.
I support seminars such as this, which give women the VISIBILITY
that they need, but don't always seem to get.
I was at one of Lee's seminars at LMO last year and I was *very*
impressed.
Wouldn't it be *refreshing* to go to an Engineering seminar and actually
have more women in the audience then men??

| 311.3 | good excuse for getting together? | MEWVAX::AUGUSTINE | | Fri May 08 1987 15:28 | 6 |
| If womannoters are coming to HLO, would anyone like to have lunch
before the talk (or gather and say hello afterwards)? If you're
interested, please send me mail (on ISTG::AUGUSTINE) rather than
replying here.

| I thought component engineers didn't contribute to this notes file!!
(thanks, Martin... I think :) )
Seriously though, I think the presentation won't bore even those
who are not component engineers, so as far as I am concerned, come
one come all. Acoustic microscopy is not a subject a whole lot
of people have heard of, so I have to wave my hands a lot and give
enough background to make it comprehensible to anyone.

| 311.7 | Confused, as usual. | GENRAL::FRASHER | Undercover mountain man | Tue May 19 1987 00:59 | 6 |
| I think its notable that when I read this announcement, I thought
about a fellow noter who is the speaker. I didn't even think about
her being a woman until .1 pointed it out. Should I be proud or
ashamed of myself?

| Re: .7
Proud, I'd think. I had the same reaction as you, Spence, and
am baffled by the responses that somehow seemed to think either
that "only women would care" or conversely that "only women SHOULD
care" that Lee was giving a talk.
Personally, I'm pleased to see any indication that a fellow noter
has had a significant accomplishment in business life, and being
asked to speak on the subject of their expertise is notable in my
mind.

re .9
Actually, Lee, it does imply your gender in the sentence "Since
completing her BS..."
For some reason, I ALWAYS look for the gender being imbedded in
an announcement and 99% of the time it IS there ! What this
tells us I'm not sure.....but, my hearty congratulations to you
in your accomplishments.
