This Week in Manga 8/1-8/7/09 - (USA)
It’s been a slow week for news, part of which can be blamed on the Twitter DDOS attack Thursday and Friday. My reading list is way down too. I spent the week writing my Black Jack thesis and reading graphic novels for Good Comics for Kids Summer Reading Challenge. I should be back to reading more manga this week. Maybe.

Does Menopause Have Your Man On Pause? - (USA)
By Juliette Samuel Going through menopause and considering the prospect of sex can bring up some really far flung thoughts - either you're excited with the prospect of wild, crazy, spontaneous intercourse primarily because you have no longer have any worries about procreation (or avoidance thereof) or you're avoiding it because you have no desire whatsoever to have sex in any way shape or form or you're dreading it because it freaking hurts!

Women In Science - (USA)
More than 25 years have gone by since the U.S. Congress passed the Women in Science and Technology Equal Opportunity Act, which states that it is “the policy of the United States that men and women have equal opportunity in education, training, and employment in scientific and technical fields.” But today’s academic field illustrates a different reality than that the U.S. Congress wishes to exist. Even if major advances have occurred in relation to women’s role in education, academic institution

From college to the workforce - (USA)
It’s not as grim as ‘09 graduates think, claims the National Association of Colleges and Employers, which “found that the average starting salary for this year’s graduates is $49,307, down less than 1% from 2008,” reports Forbes. Accounting grads get the most job offers , while petroleum engineering majors get the highest starting salaries.

Let’s try to focus on the rampant misogyny instead, shall we? - (USA)
V ia Jeremy’s twitter feed ( whose blog Social Science Lite is a must-read ) is this post over at Daily Mathematics by “Blackneck”, arguing for some sort of legalized prostitution. Which normally wouldn’t be worth commenting on, since these sorts of arguments are a dime a dozen. Obviously though, I’m commenting on Blackneck’s argument, which suggests that there’s something novel about it. And, as it so happens, there is: Last week, this dude, George Sodini, went apeshit in a Pittsburg

Miracle for Women? New Vaginal Gel Blocks HIV - (USA)
Condoms are effective at preventing HIV infection, but they are not foolproof : They can break, be used ineffectively, or not be used at all. Now, University of Utah scientists are developing a “molecular condom” gel that could help women eliminate (or, at least, reduce) the remaining and persistent risk of HIV infection. The gel would be inserted into the vagina, and would turn semisolid when semen touches it, responding to pH levels in the vaginal tissues and forming a mesh of cross-link
