Zombie Marie Curie Would Like to Inspire You Now
A better understanding of the contributions and failure of recognition of women in science, AND a nice motto for Villains;
"..you don't become great by trying to be great. You become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process.".
"Also, avoid radium. Turns out it kills you."

Printed it out just this morning and hung it on our school's information board. The greatness that is xkcd (and Zombie Marie Curie) is near infinite.
ReplyDeleteRooster,
ReplyDeleteIt's good for a couple reasons, not least of which is it's truth. One thing One likes is that instead of focusing on what other people think of your work, is that you can be totally dedicated to the rightness of your work, no matter what others think. There's also a big statement on equality, and gender empowerment.
One likes when people aren't held back by false limitations. It's Villainous to look up at your teachers, role models, and leaders and think "I can do better".
Thank you for your interest (XKCD rules!),
