To: Alberta's Child

My son just graduated as an astronautical engineer from a small, private engineering university. There were very few girls in the entire school, let alone his program.

They try hard to recruit them into the higher level STEM stuff, but if they’re not interested, they’re not interested.

Guys tend to gravitate more heavily into those types of fields. That’s not a bad thing.

Maybe the girls are just discouraged from the STEM fields by the biased Nobel committees.

Look at the names of the winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics. Marie Curie shared the 1903 prize. The next woman was Maria Goeppert-Mayer, who shared the 1963 prize.

I haven't checked all of the foreign names in recent years to be sure none of them were women but I think those are the only two women so far. Jean Perrin in 1926 was a Frenchman.

If only the committee wasn't so prejudiced!
