Much has been written about females educating in the sciences. Florence A. Cordova, President of Purdue University at its West Lafayette, Ind. campus and a scientist herself, points out that according to the National Science Foundation women earning bachelor’s degrees in science and engineering increased from 50,000 in 1966 to nearly 240,000 in 2006. This is nearly a fivefold increase in scientific degrees. A significant triumph for science.
Society will soon be crediting scientific achievements to women; the “not suitable to women blocking” is no longer a societal limit.
Hopefully, this increase in the scientific education of women will result in a change for the better; more research in incurable diseases without religious belief trumping science.
