Look, these all sound like fine programs, unto themselves. But I find this column itself odd.

The author lists different statistics and percentages which demonstrate an uneven male/female distribution within the field. Conspicuously absent though is any discussion whatsoever of the causes of this uneven distribution. ("To combat these numbers..." Really? It's the numbers we're fighting?) Presumably, she's leaving the reader to fill in that blank him/herself. Thankfully for the author's sake, we're all very well trained in filling that blank.
