Women in Planetary Science: Female Scientists on Careers, Research, Space Science, and Work/Life Balance

Monday Minute: Reference letters, ANSMET, and inspiring women

It’s Monday again, and time for another Monday Minute, a roundup of the latest interesting links on women in planetary science.  Before you start your work today, don’t forget to check out last week’s featured women in planetary science: Carolyn van der Bogert and Faith Vilas

We send our best wishes and a big BON VOYAGE to Ralph Harvey, Rhiannon Mayne, Inge Loes ten Kate, and the rest of the 2010 ANSMET crew headed down for this year’s expedition!  Stay warm — and we hope you find some amazing meteorites this year!

What’s new around the net?  A reader sent us this link to consider:  Do reference letters cost women jobs?  Do they?  If they do, what can we do differently, as writers, readers, and/or requesters of these letters?  What do you think?
