Never let the actions of others dictate your future. If you have a goal never never give up.

I don't understand the "computer girl" one, did the technician think that her being a woman meant she was doing computer science instead of physics?

I'm not sure of the timeframe of this, but it could be referring to the time when calculations were done by women by hand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Computers

No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists "don't know how to design an experiment."

That's just what physics does to your brain. They're all like that.

I don't know how it is in the USA, but here biologist graduates are mostly women, so I think the implication is that she was being called a biologist (who can't design experiments) because she's a woman

Sucks.
