A more upbeat thing I found on the internet

[rmd]

This had me quite literally squeeing in my house as I watched this video of the SCIENCE CHEERLEADERS. Darlene Cavalier used to be a professional cheerleader, and is now a science writer and all around nerd-enabler. She started Science Cheerleaders, a group of former pro-cheerleaders who have gone on to careers in science and engineering.

Breaking down stereotypes about scientists *and* cheerleaders?

Fuck yeah.

The one who was like, a scientist AND a lawyer AND a doctor? Reminded me of the girl on Real Genius - when does she manage to _sleep_?

Also, why doesn't she own the world already?
