British physicist Dr. Jess Wade has written 270 Wikipedia pages for
trailblazing
female scientists in an effort to get every woman "who has achieved something impressive in science to get the prominence and recognition they deserve".
Completing the feat in less than a year, Wade, a postdoctoral researcher in the field of plastic electronics at Imperial College London’s Blackett Laboratory, said she needed to " change things from the inside" to encourage more girls to participate in science, according to The Guardian.
" Wikipedia is a really great way to engage people in this mission because the more you read about these sensational women, the more you get so motivated and inspired by their personal stories," Wade told the publication.
Wade told HuffPost that she " decided at the beginning of this year" that she’d make one page an evening. "In reality, I’ve made more than that, because sometimes there are just too many awesome people, and it would be too much of an injustice not to get their stories out, ASAP," she told HuffPost.
As a female Ph. D. student, Wade realized she was a minority in her program — a feeling that became the catalyst for her speaking out at school and encouraging younger women to get involved in science, technology, engineering or math. Wade became particularly fixated on revising the messaging surrounding women in science.
For example, "9 percent is not enough" is a tagline of a 2016 campaign by the Institution of Engineering and Technology. " If I heard something was only 9 percent of girls when I was at school I would’ve been, ’Like, no,’" Wade told The Guardian.
Additionally, Wade noticed that many of the initiatives designed to boost women’s participation, at least in the U. K. , have "little or no evaluation as to whether the projects had achieved their aims".
" There’s so much energy, enthusiasm and money going into all these initiatives to get girls into science," Wade told the publication. "Absolutely none of them is evidence-based and none of them work. It’s so unscientific, that’s what really surprises me. "
What is NOT the purpose of Dr. Jess Wade’s behavior?
选项
A、To give those women the prominence and recognition they deserve.
B、To change things from the inside.
C、To encourage more girls to participate in science.
D、To do a postdoctoral research in the field of plastic electronics.
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。根据题干和选项定位到第一段和第二段。[A],[B],[C]三个选项都可以在原文中找到对应的句子,只有[D]“为了进行塑料电子领域的博士后研究”错误,这个是韦德女士本来就有的职位,因此答案就是[D]。
