BBC: A poll conducted by ICM for Britain's Royal Society found that two-thirds of the British public were unable to name a single female scientist from Britain. Despite that ignorance, 20% of respondents to the poll picked "Nobel prize-winning scientist" as a roll model for girls. Earlier this year, a panel of female fellows of the Royal Society created a list of the 10 most influential British women in the history of science.

Economist: Will more-efficient lighting actually increase energy use—rather than save energy? That idea has been proposed by Jeff Tsao of Sandia National Laboratories and his colleagues in a study published in the Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics. The team has found that improvements in the supply of light stimulate the desire for more light—just as building more roads stimulates traffic growth. With better and cheaper lighting, the researchers note, interior lighting at home and work, which is currently only one-tenth the brightness of outdoors, could be made brighter, and the outdoors at night could be made as light as day.

Chronicle: Last June researchers and librarians at the University of California threatened to boycott Nature and the other journals published by Nature Publishing Group in response to a 400% jump in subscription fees. NPG countered with a press release that argued that the subscription increase was high only because the University of California had been benefiting from a previous, unusually generous deal. Now, reports the Chronicle's Jennifer Howard, the two sides are working together to strike a new, mutually agreeable deal.

Science: Despite worldwide financial problems, representatives from the 20 nations involved in CERN, Europe’s particle-physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, decided yesterday not to cancel any projects nor lay off any staff members; they will, however, seek to trim the budget by 6%. Three ways to cut costs were proposed by the CERN leadership: delay upgrades to current machines, shut down all eight accelerators in 2012 for repairs, and spend less on research and development for the proposed Compact Linear Collider, CLIC.
