The high rate of attrition of women in the legal profession is alarming and depressing; the amount of female energy and talent that gets stupidly wasted due to sexism in the sciences appears to be an even greater tragedy. Here are a few links to posts that help illustrate the scope of the problems women in the sciences face:
Let Her Eat The Oppressor’s Cake and Why Are All The White Men Sitting Together in the Other Conference Rooms by Thus Spake Zuska
If Only I Had Facial Hair (other than eyebrows) at Female Science Professor (and see also)
Several posts at Absinthe, including:
Male intimidation, and the deterioration of what once was a great feminist blog
Semi-random aside: The link to this post is in the name of science. This panel looks awesome, even though it is neither law nor science.
Update: See this post at Jurisdynamics as well.
