I had forgotten about this picture and then found it today. Tara C. Smith's blog is about women and science. In this post she talks to actress Danica McKellar about her book Math Doesn't Suck.
The book, as I read about it on Amazon.com, is pretty insignificant and so I won't link to it. What's interesting here is that Ms. Smith promotes women in science yet, if you look at this screen capture and the ad at the top, her advertisers see women as something less than scientific.
If one wants to support women in science, and that's a worthy goal as is supporting men in science, at least have the decency not to objectify them with sexually-based ads. C'mon.
