- Eileen Pollack"The boys in my introductory physics class, who had taken far more rigorous math and science classes in high school, yawned as our professor sped through the material, while I grew panicked at how little I understood.

In the article, "Why Are There Still So Few Women In Science?"
The NY Times Magazine
Women, unite! We must end this trend - right now! Although, of course, if we lose women in Science just so they could serve as Germany's most brazen Chancellors or Great Britain's "Iron Ladies", then, I guess the world is still a great place, overall.
