		Farrah Fawcett-Majors (Tricia Helfer) is just doing the show so she has something to do while her husband, Lee Majors (Ben Browder, "Farscape"), is off filming "The Six Million Dollar Man. “Behind the Camera" is at its best when exposing the absurdities that run rampant through Hollywood.

	SIGCSE 2002 Panel Session: “Women, Mathematics and Computer Science” (moderator, Peter Henderson)
		However, considering the under-representation of women in computer science, it is worth modifying our pedagogical methods to place more emphasis on the mathematical foundations and thus bring out an aspect of computer science that appeals to women.
		Consider an introductory computer science course in which: women perform better than men, women devote more time than men, women feel the challenge is a positive experience, women are not intimidated by the labs, and much more.
		In my presentation, I examine research methodologies that are suitable for learning about the topic of women and computing science in general and for studying relationship between women and computing science and other disciplines (such as mathematics) in particular.
