In March, Peter Golota received a gas bill for $0.00. He threw it away. In April, he received another bill for $0.00. He threw that one away, too. In May, the gas company sent him a letter which said he had to pay his gas bill. If he didn’t pay it, they were going to cut off his gas. He called and told them the bill was for $0.00.

26、Close your eyes and picture a scientist. Does an image of a man show up in your mind?

It is hard to ignore that even in the 21st century the “scientist equals male” stereotype(成见) is still there. In the science world women’s voices are often unheard.

According to UNESCO, only 35 percent of global STEM (science technology engineering and mathematics) students in higher education are women. In pursuing science and technology careers women are more likely to be treated unfairly because of their motherhood and skin color. “Role models of women scientists need to be better represented on important international stages and allow their voices to be heard as a way to encourage youths”, Lenore Blum, a female scientist from the US said.

In December, Talk With Lu Jian, a Chinese TV show, launched a series of programs, including geneticist(遗传学家) Fu Qiaomei at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Rong Yi, a chief designer of the Long March 2F rocket.

“These female scientists share a strong passion(热情) for science,” said Lu Jian, the TV show’s host. “They are making a pathway(通道) for the next women scientists.” Actions should also be taken to create a better environment for women working in the field of science and technology, noted Science and Technology Daily. For example, they should be given more resources(资源), join in decision-making and gain support for their research during maternity(生育).
