>From Scarcity to Visibility: Gender Differences in the Careers of
Doctoral Scientists and Engineers
is a new report that describes career outcomes of scientists and
engineers who received doctorates between 1973 and 1995. You can read
it online at http://www.nap.edu/catalog/5363.html
It was produced by the Committee on Women in Science and Engineering of
the National Research Council
(website: www.nationalacademies.org/osep/cwse.nsf).
A review of it appears in ScienceNOW, the daily news digest from Science
Magazine, which comments:
> Issued last week, the panel's 340-page report eschews the usual
> analysis of existing studies with policy recommendations. Instead,
> the panel did its own research on gender differences in the
> scientific workforce, mining four versions of two ongoing federal
> surveys. Its conclusion--that men retain an edge that cannot be
> explained by any objective measure of ability--may be disturbing to
> those who think that discrimination is a thing of the past.
