精彩書摘
The bar chart shows the gender distribution of students doing scientific research across a range of disciplines at a UK university in 2009.
In five of the six disciplines, males outnumbered females. Male students made up a particularly large proportion of the student group in subjects related to the study of inanimate objects and materials: physics, astronomy, and geology. The gender gap was particularly large in the field of physics, where there were five times as many male students as female students.
Men and women were more equally represented in subjects related to the study of Living things: biology, medicine, and veterinary medicine. In biology, there were nearly as many women (approximately. 200) as men (approximately 240). This was also true of medicine. Veterinary medicine was the only discipline in which women outnumbered men {roughly 110 women vs. 90 men}.
Overall, the chart shows that at this university, science-related subjects continue to be male-dominated; however, women have a significant presence in fields related to medicine and the Life sciences.
