  • Which female science fiction writers also have degrees in "hard" science? (Catherine Asaro comes to mind.)
  • Which female science fiction writers write "hard" science fiction? (Obviously I have a mental list, but it may not be standard.)
  • What about writers for shows like Star Trek, which I don't know anything about?
  • I've heard claims that though 70% of all book buyers are female, science-fiction book buyers are predominantly male; can anyone support either of these claims?
  • How much would it cost to bring, say, Maureen F. McHugh to Seattle?

*Catherine Asaro* has a science degree? Dear god, in *what*?

(I should mention that I only know her work from the occasional piece nominated for the Hugos; if you're on sfdt (which I suppose you're not), her novella is the only one I've read so far and oy. Highly generic romance novel with an outer space twist. And I *read* romance novels, even.)
