Why are women underrepresented in math and science?

Asked by nikipedia (28077points) August 12th, 2008

Steve Pinker and Larry Summers (a Harvard/MIT psychologist and the former president of Harvard University, respectively) think women and men have innate differences in ability in math and science.

Ben Barres, a Stanford neuroscientist (and former woman!), argues that this hypothesis is incorrect.
