Post in this thread if you're female. (I'm not; just wondering.)
I'm female. Why is this a matter of interest?
I'm curious about who reads the site, I guess.
It would be neat to know the distribution. (I'm F.)
I doubt we'll get an idea of distribution from this thread, but I'm female.
Thanks, I'm glad to know that. Since I made that comment, there's been a survey and they found that about 3% of us are female. Maybe it's as high as 10% or 20% with error and lurkers, but we're still a minority.
Have you been following Less Wrong for a while, or have you recently come across it?
I'm new, as evidenced by the fact that until now I did not realize I had a handy inbox that told me about replies. (Yes, that was an apology for taking so long to respond. cough Sorry.) Haven't been on much since I joined (few months past) what with exams, but hoping to become a little less of a lurker now that they're finished and I've read through a fair bit of the sequences and whatnot.
I kind of wish there were sequences on math and science and other such things on this site - I can get most of the concepts, but I'm still in high school and the maths goes over my head sometimes.
People have recommended betterexplained and khan academy for math mostly and some science.
Thank you! Betterexplained is alright, but Khan Academy is amazing - easy, simple, great layout, progress tracking, instructional videos, challenges. I'm working my way through the logarithms track at the moment. (Yes, I am that far behind all of you.)
