SCIENTIST AT WORK / Joan Roughgarden
A Theorist With Personal Experience of the Divide Between the Sexes
By CAROL KAESUK YOON
AN FRANCISCO — Speaking to a standing room only crowd at the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America in Snowbird, Utah, Dr. Joan Roughgarden, one of the world's most influential theoretical ecologists, is methodically taking apart the way that biologists think about sex.
Providing details that make some titter and shift nervously in their seats, she is re-thinking orgasms and the architecture of female genitals, making arguments for the existence of more than two genders and presenting evidence for widespread homosexual copulation in the wild. http://www.nytimes.com/2000/10/17/science/17ROUG.html
