It’s been an awfully long while since I’ve published one of these posts, as T. reminded me the other day. I think I’m going to get back into the habit. The first three are for your entertainment, really. 4 and 5 are for if you’re interested in the inequalities in American society. 6 is a rather interesting finding about why female students do not pursue science \/ tech \/ engineering \/ math careers. And 7 is for those of you computer-sciency people, particularly if you thought that SQL was dying or dead. So, without further ado, today’s links:<\/p>\n

  5. Detroit’s Berlin Wall:<\/a> “the half-mile long wall was built to segregate a black community from an adjacent white development…. The wall was the official racial divider for over 20 years, until the Fair Housing Act abolished such racist policies in 1968. The wall itself, however, still remains today – as does segregation in Detroit.”<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  6. Low math confidence discourages female students from pursuing STEM disciplines<\/a><\/li>\n
