[quote=Anonymous][quote]I have to wonder if this is because "wet" fields are full of women while programming/engineering are still male dominated. Ladies: please consider programming/engineering.[/quote] I don't think this is true. Biology is certain becoming more and more female dominated (although you would be surprised at the graduate level...it's pretty much 50:50 for biochem/mol bio, maybe the numbers are a bit different for evolutionary biology). But organic chemistry is still INCREDIBLY male dominated and has a macho streak to it, and it is very much a "wet" area. Both areas suffer from similar problems, except organic chemistry has an even worse culture than most biology labs. I think it really comes down to the fact that if you are in a field that requires a lot of tedious manual labor, it sets up opportunities to be abused or outsourced. I think it has absolutely nothing to do with gender dynamics.[/quote]
