Integration of extraterrestrials in society
By: T. Scott Randolph
To hardcore non believers in UFOs or that alien lifeforms could exist would be considered completely impossible, this question would be completely ridiculous. If the aliens don't exist, how could they possibly live among us (or may in the future). No matter how it has...

In this largely male-dominated world, the role of women in science and technology throughout history has been largely overlooked.
