[OCWIC] Female academic performance in math, science, engineering

[Bettina Bair]

Are you feeling outnumbered?  Here is an interesting study regarding the
impact of gender imbalance on female academic performance in math, science
and engineering.

Representative quote: "situational cues (i.e. being outnumbered) may
contribute to a decrease in women's performance expectations, as well as
their actual performance."
