John Belcher (2008), in his PhysLrnR post titled "blog/blogger
(09/06)" wrote (slightly edited):
"An interesting blog/blogger I ran across yesterday . . . .["Twisting
the Ivory Tower (OR Change in university physics )" [Sciencegeekgirl
(2008a) online at <http://tinyurl.com/5vlsgp>]. . . . . ."
Modesty forbids mention of another especially perceptive report by
Sciencegeekgirl: "Everything You Ever Wanted to know about Gender
Issues in Science/Math Education" [Sciencegeekgirl (2008b), online at
<http://tinyurl.com/5awc5y>.].
According to <http://sciencegeekgirl.wordpress.com/about/>,
Sciencegeekgirl (aka Stephanie Chasteen) is "now a postdoc at the
University of Colorado at Boulder. . . .working on reforming college
physics courses, ostensibly so that students learn more."
