The media keeps saying we need more women to run for office. However, I feel we need more women in physical science, engineering, and computer science. Why? Because physical science, engineering, and computer science do more than politics for the progress of humanity. Science is superior because it can solve many of our world problems, unproven political ideologies will get us nowhere in our divided country.
A 2008 survey of US universities by the National Science Foundation revealed that less than 30 percent of PhDs in the physical sciences were awarded to women. Higher up the ranks, women make up only about 10 percent of full professorships in physics-related disciplines. Yet when psychologists Stephen Ceci and Wendy Williams of Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y, sifted through 20 years of research, they found little evidence of continued gender bias in journal reviewers, granting agencies or hiring committees. Their analysis, published on February 7 (S. J. Ceci and W. M. Williams Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA doi:10.1073/pnas.1014871108; 2011), contrasts with reports that suggest overt discrimination remains a significant problem. https://www.scientificamerican.com/arti ... ap-probed/
While women receive over half of bachelor’s degrees awarded in the biological sciences, they receive far fewer in the computer sciences (17.9%), engineering (19.3%), physical sciences (39%) and mathematics (43.1%).
