How many female scientists that identify as lesbian, bisexual, queer or transgendered in Australia. I am one. One of my fellow lab members when I was a postgrad research student, and a good friend was out and proud along with her girlfriend who was also a medical researcher. There was also another researcher in the same school was an out and proud lesbian. I would like to the figures and know their stories.

Philanthropy & Vaccine Funding

As a former medical/health researcher with strong beliefs around social justice, funding for research and the ability of all humans whether rich or poor to receive vaccines and drugs, I thought it was excellent the increased funding and donation of millions to vaccine research. I admire philanthropists and think they do a great serve to society. It is almost an obligation and a way to give to society and the less fortunate. And it is an important assistance that richer countries and corporations can provide to poorer countries and individuals.

What would the ideal Lesbian role models look like? They would be diverse to reflect the diversity of lesbian women. They would have to encompass bisexual, queer and transgendered woman. Also the different identities some lesbian/bi/queer women identify with such as femme, butch, lipstick etc

Sam Ryan (played by Amanda Burton), a Forensic Pathologist in the BBC Drama Silent Witness was another role model of mine while growing up. She was a gutsy, determined, smart Northern Irish lady. Shame she left the show

Dana Scully

I was watching the X-Files movie last night on television, and it took me back to my teenage years and my immense admiration and fascination with Dana Scully. She was a strong, intelligent, beautiful, professional scientist and FBI agent. She was my idol. I wanted to be a Forensic Pathologist like her. I wanted to solve crimes using science. She inspired me to want to study science. And watching the movie last night, viewing it from a more mature angle, l realised what a fantastic role model she was. Empowered, intelligent, tough, holds her own, a feminist (or close). And last but not least, as a redhead (not natural though) I thought it was so fantastic that this smart sexy scientist was a redhead! I certainly would use Dana Scully as an example of a good female scientist role model (and as redheaded role model too!)
