From the Chronicle of Higher Education article today headlined, “Report Examines Fields With Highest Gender Imbalances Among Ph.D.’s”: “Among the 55 STEM-related fields, men were overrepresented in 74.5 percent and women were overrepresented in 25.5 percent. Among the other 80 fields, men were overrepresented in 77.5 percent and women were overrepresented in 22.5 percent.”

Why can’t academics get their “representation” just right, not over or under?
