Thursday night roboticist Cynthia Breazeal was one one of three women to win L’Oreal’s Women in Digital award. During the ceremony it occurred to me, wait, Cynthia Breazeal is a woman?
If you look at all the interviews, profiles, and stories about Breazeal, they describe about her achievements as a scientist in the field of robotics. They talk about Breazeal’s work at the MIT Media Lab, or they talk about Kismet, Breazeal’s doe-eyed social robot, or they talk about Jibo. But whatever they discuss, they never once mention that she’s a woman.
