[How I got involved.... 

Stanford, ad, 35/6     [Daddy]

Reported to NASA/Houston. JSC: ~4000 engineers.  1 female engineer, 1 female scientist (biochem). Series of welcoming events, sets of gifts.  In a sign that they were't used to women astros.....cuff links.

   =>Biochem "annointed" as expert: selection committee; consultant on everything (astro gym....size of lockers, # of towels.....hair dryers)

    =>Environment not unique to JSC.  Typical of gov't and eng. Ctrs.

    =>NASA committed to change, supportive.  Critical: visible commitment from the top
