The 20 brightest scientists in America - where are the women?

Many of them are here=

Many students drop out after seeing just some of what is done in the name of so called research.

A high degree of those students in the past have been female students.



In Australia right now we have many Scientists? conducting the most unspeakable brutal acts of Animal Cruelty.

Most are men.

People Against Live Exports & Intensive Farming,

Considering this was primarily focused on maths and physics, and only a tiny tiny proportion of scientists work on animals your comment is so inappropriate to be childish.

Dear Steven,

You keep accusing me of not addressing
the issues on this thread.

I thought that I did exactly that.

You chose a man's comments, who's on record
as thinking women dim, especially in the
sciences, and then when I respond
with various websites, and what amongst others,
nine top university Presidents had to say, on the
subject, including a personal account, - you say that
I'm avoiding discussing the issues.

As for Summers past economic record in the last year
of the Clinton Administration, and his
current appointment - well, there are a
variety of opinions on that subject.
According to an article in the
'Financial Times,' Nov. 7, 2008,
one poster summed up Summers in the following
way:

"There is only one reason not to appoint
Mr Summers again as the Secretary of Treasury,
because My Summers was the main architect of the
Asian Financial Crisis together with Allan
Greenspan which was the prelude to the current
World Financial Crisis."

Anyway, for me this thread has now run its
course - and I don't really see the point of
further discussion.

We obviously are talking at cross purposes here.

Reading all of the comments I would have to agree with Foxy.

She posted facts as I did Mr Shadow Minister.

Where are your facts ?.

If you knew much about the topic you would know the background and protests.

Interesting that the bigger majority were or are female.

Sorry guys better luck next time.

Well Foxy, you have not convinced me that women are so badly
discriminated against, for when I see such smart women as
Gail Kelly and Maxine McKew, thriving, clearly some talent
helps.

What I do know is that people easily delude themselves and I
would not be suprised if every second dud female who does not
make it due to lack of talent, finds it easy to blame those
evil men for her failures. Men don't get such an easy
option of rationalising things away.

Finally you girls have one distinct advantage, sleeping
your way to the top is alot easier for women then for men :)

Dear Yabby,

I wasn't trying to convince you of anything.
I was merely presenting information that I
found on various websites to add to the
discussion.

It's always helpful to get more than one
rather biased view in a discussion.

Your reference to women sleeping their
way to promotions - is a most inappropriate
statement - of which you should be ashamed.

It's not one that I would have
expected from someone whose opinion I
respected.

If this was your attempt at 'humour,'
it's out of place.
