Popular science blog is run by a woman – to the surprise of some on Facebook
A swath of science fans expressed shock Wednesday upon learning that a popular science Facebook page is run by a woman.
Elise Andrew, an English blogger living in Canada, posted a link promoting her Twitter feed on her I Fucking Love Science Facebook page, which has more than 4.2m fans.
"I got Twitter! I figured it's about time I started exploring other social media . If you're on there, can you Tweet me some science people worth following?" Andrew said.
The post provoked an onslaught of comments discussing her gender and looks. "F.ck me! This is a babe ?!!" wrote commenter Can Durace. "holy hell, youre a HOTTIE!" wrote Douglas Pistone Linares.
Lou Forbes said: "you mean you're a girl, AND you're beautiful? wow, i just liked science a lil bit more today ^^"

I "like" this Facebook page, and I knew she was a female.
Should it come as a surprise that there are many women in science? I don't think it should.
She was at Pittcon this week. I was supposed to go... but couldnt because of finals. My coworker got a picture with her though.
LOL!
Good for her!!!!
This is the best news I've heard all day...
That's cool!! Wish I could've been there - but couldn't because of rotations.
I agree - Good for her!!
Great article; more power toElise!
