      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.

      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."

          So tired of this "fixing girls". I hope you find funding. We need to fix the real problem. I think culture in CS?

          interesting idea from a student: establish financial cost to CS sector from underrepresentation, then pitch research to investigate?

          Or quick fix plans to teach them "coding" instead of actual theory underlying any of CS

          Surely there are exceptions but since programs operate without research guiding their design... well, they're not working.

          I *have* been pitching. It's so hard to get even a little bit funds for research that would tell us how to fix this.https://twitter.com/bksacks/status/763794533326942209 …

          my friend Amanda Diekman has had luck with this approach via NSF HRD. Maybe hit her up for advice? I can introduce if you like.

          .@drbobrinkman Mine started as NSF grant! Looking for modest amount to complete & open-source results. Funders want "programs" not research.
