There is no more reason, from the perspective of evolution or learning, to favor the use of a brain-only cognitive strategy than there is to favor the use of canny (but messy, complex, hard-to-understand) combinations of brain, body and world.

One state's response to protect children from sexual predators. It doesn't seem very forward thinking to me. Why not change the rules around social networking in schools, rather than banning it?

A professor of logic and metaphysics suggests that IPods, BlackBerrys, and laptops can be seen as extensions of our minds -- "bio-external elements in an extended cognitive process."
Women in Engineering - The Numbers - 2 views
-
I am very curious as to why the number of women pursuing engineering degrees has effectively stayed the same, while the number of women attending college grows by about 20,000 each year. At the same time, I think it’s fair to say that engineering as a profession, and technical professions in general, have become less stigmatized as exclusively male. So it’s a bit discouraging to see that the number of women pursuing a career in this field has basically stagnated. And I am at a loss to explain why. What do you think?

Hi Margaret, There's some interesting research around this question that points to bad messaging as the culprit. In case you're interested, here is a link to some market research the Engineer Your Life coalition did. The NAE also has an interesting research report called "Changing the Conversation." Natalie

Women Key to Global Economic Growth - 1 views
-
I would like to begin a discussion today about the future of our global economy and society. Specifically, I'd like to talk about women, and the role women will play in transforming our global economy and society over the next decade. I also want to share some thoughts on the role women will play in helping transform The Coca-Cola Company over the next decade and beyond.

I think there's another way of looking at this as well -- one that goes beyond national comparisons. In fact, I would say that the real drivers of the "Post-American World" won't be China... or India... or Brazil -- or any nation for that matter. The real drivers will be women. Women entrepreneurs. Women business, political, academic and cultural leaders. Women innovators.

The truth is women already are the most dynamic and fastest-growing economic force in the world today. Women now control over $20 trillion dollars in spending worldwide. To put that into context -- that's an economic impact larger than the U.S., China and India economies combined. But there's so much more to the story.
