 WICB - Why Women Leave Science   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Women were 44% of the total number of graduate students in all the sciences, and 48% of the total number of graduate students in the biological sciences.
These statistics about women in science and engineering are accumulated biannually by the NSF in a continuing study of women, minorities and persons with disabilities in science and engineering.
In contrast, perpetuating the idea that science is "hard" and therefore only available to an "elite" with the inherent ability to deal with the material provides permission for faculty to continue to "weed out" rather than educate students with a genuine interest and aptitude for biology, and its predecessor courses, math, chemistry and physics.

1901, the fifth anniversary of Nobel's death, for achievements in the fields specified by Nobel: physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and peace.
In the century since the Nobel Foundation was established, many have speculated on the reasons why Alfred Nobel did not provide for a prize to be awarded for achievement in the field of mathematics.
With no obvious reason at hand, people invented one, and as usual the invented tale had a bit of salaciousness to it: Alfred Nobel deliberately avoided establishing a prize for mathematics out of vindictiveness because a prominent Swedish mathematician was carrying on an affair with his wife.

The Nobel Archives preserve the detailed study of the inner workings of the prize committees, and the archival documents, available for historical research since 1974, open the door to important new scholarship in the history and sociology of the prizes.
Elisabeth Crawford was one of the first to gain access to the Nobel Archives at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and in this book she analyzes the early history of the prizes in physics and chemistry.
While the general development of disciplines and the standing of scientists in international and national communities heavily influenced the selection process, the cases presented in this book show that the specific choices of specialities, discoveries, and people to be honored were determined by the Swedish participants in the process.
