On PopSci.com today I had a nice interview with Stuart Fox.

My favorite part of the interview was about getting girls interested in technology:

PopSci.com: Most of the clothing and accessories in the book are for women. Was that a conscious choice? Did you deliberately try to use the book to help get girls interested in science?

DE: I’m really going after the young girl demographic. One of the things that got me out of wanting to go into math was when my dad took me to a math conference, and I didn’t see anyone like me. Girls don’t see that you don’t have to be a stereotypical nerd if you major in computer science. Makeup companies always need chemists. A lot of girls I knew growing up really liked makeup. If they knew that they could design makeup all day, they would have paid more attention in chemistry class.
