Ah, wouldn't I LOVE to take this on ( see my article "Women in the OPS" in the
Journal 25th Anniversary addition...
Maybe women are just too busy WORKING to spend time commenting on
Optimal...hahaha. Just kidding guys, but research supports that the female
gender is the multitasker...
Afraid to jump in here for fear of solidifying my reputation as a ball busting
feminist.. Alas, I won't be in Chicago this year. No takers for New Orleans?
Count me in....

Subject: [optimal] Scientific Session idea: gender in ophthalmic imaging?
HI All,
Over the years I have read many posts discussing how to repair, clean,
jerry-rig, and even build ophthalmic equipment..
Recent discussion case in point: "Prudence suggests dismantling the
OIS 5.0 capturing head inverting it, and blowing it on the
undersurface with compressed air,. re-assemble... " Jim Soque
From my observation, most of these discussions were written and
responded to by the male gender in our field. Maybe I am wrong in this
impression.
Scientific Session idea: Exploration into the differences gender plays
in the ophthalmic practice. Is there a difference in work values,
tasks performed etc? How many women vs men in our profession?
Obviously, we want to avoid women/men are better than the other.
Big topic. Lots of directions here. Could be a PhD topic really.but a
basic look into are there differences, and what do they look like
could be a good start.
Any takers?
See these journal for ideas.
