Terri Oda <http://terri.zone12.com/> is a mathematician who now works in
computer science. She is also female. Weird, right? When people told her
women were biologically unsuited to math, she used to draw a graph for them
on the back of a napkin showing why this wasn’t statistically true. Because
women like napkins. Finally Oda decided to put her napkin doodles into a
slideshow with actual graphs, which is the clearest visual refutation of
the "women are not biologically suited for math" theory I’ve ever seen.
Charts and numbers and stuff: You should check it out.
