“When people think about computer science, they imagine people with pocket protectors and thick glasses who code all night,” Mayer jokes. “I do code all night! I am the stereotype, but I also break the stereotype.”

Mo, you might be too late, she is already engaged.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Mo, you're too young for her. Me, OTOH... Wait! She's engaged, Rachel??!

Well the Paparazzi have photos of her ring all over the web. I just hope whatever she decides to do for her wedding she can keep the Paparazzi out.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Well, then... she's not really beautiful nor smart or with a funny and delicious laugh anyway...
- directeur
Sorry Rachel, I guess we caused confusion in your feed.
- Petek(UCB)_
Ahhh... okay. Thanks Anne. No worries at all Petek, I was just confused.
- Rachel Lea Fox
:))) Rachel. All in all, women engineers can be both smart and good-looking as opposed to stereotypes.. I know a lot of them who can balance their personal and work lives and take good care of themselves at the same time...Thanks for sharing the link.
- Petek(UCB)_
Yes stuck..I guess so :)).. Unfortunately, I am not in Istanbul.
- Petek(UCB)_
Stuck, I have been here for a while...You know what all my engineer friends are from Ankara! and yes my classmates are all nice and pretty ladies...and they are smart too...
- Petek(UCB)_
Alright, so nobody will ever talk to me again after my confession: I am from Bogazici -neither Bilkentliler nor ODTU'luler like us- :)) but I definitely support your cause stuck, woman engineers in Turkey/Istanbul/Ankara ... are smart and beautiful..Yes we all are!
- Hande
Hande :))) this is cute:))) Btw, i have many friends from both Bogazici and Bilkent so i talk to everybody...I totally agree with you and moreover, women engineers, all over the world are smart and beautiful-We rock!
- Petek(UCB)_
The atmosphere is all the same as I hear from old friends..I miss the cats, the gorgeous Bosphorus view, watching films outside at night on 'Gunes meydan' with blankets and hot drinks,all my friends from Music Club..I miss every bit of my undergrad years..
- Hande
Cats, and dogs and the amazing view!! i love the Bogazici campus....i used to go to the alumni house almost two-three times a week when i was in Istanbul...and whenever i went there, i also sat by the "Manzara" and watched the ships go by:)))
- Petek(UCB)_
yeah we ODTU people are just very interesting, stuck! i sat there, and just watched it.......
- Petek(UCB)_
I am a Turkish girl in Boston trying to finish her phd and a miyendis..:))
- Hande
I bet it's the most beautiful campus in the world..
- Hande
when you say phd, Hande, i must study!!!!!!! goodnight all:))) you know what you are jealous of our campus, Stuck- i dont like all building campuses..But yeah Bogazici campus is very beautiful-however it comes after Berkeley campus where you can also watch the ship go by in the Bay under biggggg red wood trees ;)) sorryyy..
- Petek(UCB)_
I've never been there yet..The answer also depends on why you are coming and in what way you are asking this question..I have friends in Florida state uni. and I guess there is a somewhat big Turkish community (scholars) there..They say the cost of life is much cheaper than here in Boston-New York area and the weather is better..That's all I know.
- Hande
Petek. Disagree.. Boun campus has a waay better view than Berkeley.
- Ozgur Demir
Stuck, i really do not know much about Miami but if you ask about SF and California- i can be more helpful:)
- Petek(UCB)_
Ozgur, have you been to LBNL up in the hills?
- Petek(UCB)_
let me try to remember.. as far as I remember, it was beginning of spring.. yeah...
- Ozgur Demir
Petek. Btw, personally I don't adore Boun at all... I am just talking about the view (:
- Ozgur Demir
Ozgur, I am thinking about the overall campus.- Berkeley has a better campus for sure but yeah, view is i guess better on BOUN. but i really get good views from around Berkeley..have you been to Indian Rock, btw?
- Petek(UCB)_
Not sure, one of our friends was escorting us (she was a student there) I am not that familiar with that area. So maybe yes, maybe no (: don't know.
- Ozgur Demir
Ozgur, Go to Indian rock to watch sunset:))) and have your dinner with you:)) you will thank me:))
- Petek(UCB)_
Anybody from Miami??? i have never been to that part, @ stuck..
