Computer science is one of the worst things that ever happened to either computers or to science.
Computer Science is embarrassed by the computer.
In life sciences, we find a reasonable balance between men and women. In engineering and computer science, we have a major problem. A very small percentage of women will be in computer science.
Until Systers came into existence, the notion of a global 'community of women in computer science' did not exist.
Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.
It should be mandatory that you understand computer science.
I've been programming computers since elementary school, where they taught us, and I stuck with computer science through high school and college.
If we suppose that many natural phenomena are in effect computations, the study of computer science can tell us about the kinds of natural phenomena that can occur.
Even when I was studying mathematics, physics, and computer science, it always seemed that the problem of consciousness was about the most interesting problem out there for science to come to grips with.
I think computer science, by and large, is still stuck in the Modern age.
We're losing track of the vastness of the potential for computer science. We really have to revive the beautiful intellectual joy of it, as opposed to the business potential.
I was an undergrad math major and a grad student in computer science. I'm hugely introverted, not atypical of math majors.
I shopped at J. Crew in high school, I studied computer science. I was a nerd-nerd, now I'm a music-nerd.
I never took a computer science course in college, because then it was a thing you just learned on your own.
My background was computer science and business school, so eventually I worked my way up where I was running product groups - development, testing, marketing, user education.
We're not a vocational school. If someone wants to get a high-paying job, I would hope that there are easier ways to do it than working through a formal computer science curriculum.
My hope is that in the future, women stop referring to themselves as 'the only woman' in their physics lab or 'only one of two' in their computer science jobs.
! want to leverage the creativity of researchers across mathematics, statistics, data mining, computer science, biology, medicine, and the public at large.
I don't know how many of you have ever met Dijkstra, but you probably know that arrogance in computer science is measured in nano-Dijkstras.
I've actually started a number of businesses in my career. So I'm 28 currently, but when I was about 16, I started building Websites, and that's how I put myself through school. I went to Duke with a degree in electrical engineering, computer science...
Why is computer science a good field for women? For one thing, that's where the jobs are, and for another, the pay is better than for many jobs, and finally, it's easier to combine career and family.
