Amanda Prescott posted a blog postAquaponics and other Sustainability Projects-- Go big or Go home.
I recently bought a 55 gallon fish tank for my first apartment. If there's ever been a moment where I've felt like I'm riding a roller coaster of "oh god what have I gotten myself into?!?" it would be now. Though I can't exactly say I regret the purchase. Allow me to explain. There is a technology becoming popular that allows individuals to not only grow fish in their backyards (or in their apartments) but also grow plants (such as lettuce, herbs, and tomatoes) more efficiently than in…See More
Fee replied to Amanda Prescott's discussion How to be a feminist role model? in the group Feminist Nerdfighters"I think the idea of feminism contains that no one is judged by its look. So if you want to represent feminism the way I understand it (which is, of course, not the case but the only point of view I currently have) you should make very clear that…"

How to be a feminist role model?
So here is my question, I want to start either a science blog with a strong representation of women scientists or just a straight blog about feminism and I'm quite torn about how I should present myself to be the best role model I can be to young women. This is mainly about how I should dress, whether I should wear make up, whether I should shave, etc. One one hand, I don't like the fact that dressing femininely seems to be associated with NOT being feminist, but conversely, I'm not too fond…See More
Amanda Prescott replied to Alena Krone's discussion PorNo or PorYES ? in the group Feminist Nerdfighters"As others have said, as long as there is consent on all parties involved, I for the most part don't see a problem with it. I will acknowledge that porn reinforces both gender stereotypes and standards of beauty, but I think it's also…"
Amanda Prescott replied to Eric aka moosemuffin's discussion New to nerdfighters.com? Introduce yourself here!"yay! yeah, I'm beginning to see that.
I think I'm going to like it here. :)"
Amanda Prescott replied to Eric aka moosemuffin's discussion New to nerdfighters.com? Introduce yourself here!"well, mainly because engineering (especially when one is double majoring) is a very difficult program and I simply didn't have time for it anymore. I had actually gotten a scholarship to play viola in my university's orchestra, but…"
Amanda Prescott replied to Khail's discussion A question of honor? in the group Feminist Nerdfighters" hahaha whoops you are right.
negatives are usually pretty important. "
Danno left a comment for Amanda Prescott"heheheh
seriously though, glad things are going well (for the most part)"
Amanda Prescott replied to Khail's discussion A question of honor? in the group Feminist Nerdfighters"As long as you expect sex simply because you held the door, paid for the date, and walked her home, no, I don't think it's wrong. I understand some women may disagree with me about the things I just listed, but just as John…"

Profile Information
- What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?
- Nerd loving engineer
- About Me:
- I am a bioenvironmental engineering and international studies (with an emphasis in environmental studies) double major at the University of Missouri-Columbia. I work at a local ice cream shop in St. Louis when I'm not in Columbia, Missouri stuffing my brain with science knowledge. I'm majorly interested in the environment (as likely indicated by my choice of study) and hope to go into some kind of research to save the world.
I also played violin, viola, and ukulele in high school. I also used to write poetry (I used to recite poetry competitively as well). I'm trying to get back into my creative hobbies, but so far it seems like Taylor series and his gang put Carl Sandburg, Edna St. Vincent Milay, and their associates into exile.
Two important things to know about me why interacting with me: I am in a very happy (and of course nerdy) relationship, and, I am very liberal (strong feminist ideologies being the biggest aspect of my political views).
An extension to these two important things: If your views differ from mine, I promise to be respectful as long as they do not, directly or indirectly, threaten my well-being. I think that's reasonable don't you?
- Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and more
- favorite movies/shows: captain planet; scott pilgrim vs. the world; v for vendetta;doctor who; being human(UK version); What dreams make come; star trek(movie and series); star wars (episode 4-6 over 1-3, but I still enjoy the modern ones); revenge of the nerds; The big bang theory; glee
Favorite music: mc frontalot; schaffer the darklord; mc lars; fleetwood mac; laura marling; fleet foxes; glee cast; nick pitera; michael crawford; josh groban; the beatles; amy winehouse; imelda may; and many others.
- What's your favorite thing to put on your head?
