    This has been true for a while; the CS problem is obviously not a math problem.https://twitter.com/pinkhairedcyn/status/763758464078196736 …

    Next time someone says women don't take CS classes because it's too much math, remind them undergraduate math is 50% women.

        near equality of men/women in math courses was true for me in undergrad and grad. And the smartest students: often women

        It's clearly a problem of culture that occurs pretty early on; a very tricky thing.

        I've a research project that needs funding on just this—but everyone wants to fund "yeay girls" programs, not research on why they avoid CS.

        Me: "Girls with CS skill-set pick math or bio; let's look into why." Funders: "No, let's fund another summer camp focusing on fixing girls."

        @giselaj @pinkhairedcyn I went to talk to the CS department in undergrad, was told, "oh, it's a lot of classes." Very dismissive.

        Operations Research also has much better gender balance than CS.

        At this point, most anything has better gender balance than CS; it's clearly linked to cultural trends.

        .@gershonmarx At this point, I'd love introductions to potential funders. Also: Not a penny of funding would go to me. It goes to post-docs.
