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’s the problems about other campaigns, according to Wade?
选项
A、There are only 9 percent of girl participants.
B、They have little evaluation as to whether the projects had achieved their aims.
C、There’s little energy, enthusiasm and money going get girls into science.
D、They are evidence-based.
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据题干定位到最后一段。最后一段中提到了韦德对于其他类似运动的看法。[A]描述的不是类似的活动;[C]不是这些活动的问题,不算是缺点;[D]的意思正好与原文相反,因此错误;只有[B]的描述和原文没有差别,因此应该选择[B]。
