Sage developer co-authors article on women's representation in subfields

[kcrisman]

Unfortunately a paywall, but very interesting data and analysis relevant to mathematical software communities too - plus, Sage developer and co-author Ursula Whitcher of Math Reviews gives a shout-out to SageMath in the author bio :)

I can't / wont read it because of the paywall. Can you copy/paste the
paragraph that mentions Sage? (or screenshot it). Fair use of small
excerpts...

Thank you!

There's a preprint version on the arXiv, naturally:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1509.07824

(And I did a bunch of the data analysis in python, using skills I
learned from Sage development!)

Math Intelligencer changed the biographies to third-person; my draft was:

***

I earned a mathematics Ph.D. from the University of Washington, where I
wrote my dissertation on algebraic geometry problems inspired by
questions in string theory. I spent two years as a Teaching and Research
Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvey Mudd College, and five years as an
assistant and then associate professor at the University of
Wisconsin-Eau Claire, where I met Abra. I'm now an Associate Editor at
Mathematical Reviews, a service of the American Mathematical Society.
I'm interested in experimental and computational approaches to both pure
and applied mathematical problems, and am active in the SageMath
open-source community.

When I'm not doing math, I enjoy rock climbing, knitting, writing
poetry, and using my academic library card for unmathematical purposes.
Right now I'm reading up on the Aztecs, Merovingian archaeology, and
irregular tactics in modern warfare.

Thanks! And of course I did read your article once you posted the
arxiv link. I'm really, really glad AMS supported
your working on that article.
