Heheh...

Val's conclusion reminds me of a (female) colleague's undergraduate research poster at (bigname university's chemistry department, one of the top 20 in the US)...

She deliberately selected a VERY feminine, floral paper for her backing/framing paper on her panels, and a wildly frivolous, definitely "girly" PINK-PINK-PINK for her posterboard.

It was definitely a gender prod. She admitted that she did it to draw attention. As in; "I'm a girl and I'm a scientist. Deal with that and take me seriously, or admit you're a misogynist at heart. HA."

It worked, too; at least in terms of her sense of deep satisfaction. LOL.
