57. Depends on the science
There are lots of women in the biological and natural sciences.

In chemistry, math, and physics, not so much.

To go out on a (flaming) limb, men are nerds who find hours of math problems inherently interesting in a way that I don't. I don't mind applied math problems, where you come up with an interesting result, but hours upon hours of boring problems out of the book...ugh.

It's the same thing with computer programming. I don't mind making the occasional web page, but endless hours of that...yuck.

It's not a matter of ability, but interest.
