For some women, science really is hard
Nearly eight years ago Harvard University president and noted economist Lawrence Summers was literally run out of town for declaring
[T]hat men outperform women in maths and sciences because of biological difference, and discrimination is no longer a career barrier for female academics.
(snip)
In a lengthy address delivered without notes, Dr Summers offered three explanations for the shortage of women in senior posts in science and engineering, starting with their reluctance to work long hours because of childcare responsibilities. He went on to argue that boys outperform girls on high school science and maths scores because of genetic difference. "Research in behavioural genetics is showing that things people previously attributed to socialisation weren't due to socialisation after all," he told the Boston Globe yesterday.
Andrea Mitchell, married to noted economist Alan Greenspan, proved this controversial thesis Sunday on her namesake MSNBC show, confidently reporting that " 'Fearless Felix' (Baumgartner) Traveled Faster Than Speed of Light."
Uh, Andrea, I know they seem alike but Baumgartner traveled faster than the speed of sound, 833.9 mph; had he traveled at the speed of light --no more Felix. Nothing travels faster than light. Just ask Einstein.
I know, math and science are hard--even for smart people such as yourself.
