Education: Higher: Lab life: Science eviction: Why are women researchers so much more likely than their male colleagues to opt out of an academic career?

Overview
\"Having children is also repetitive and has its disappointments,\" she says. \"They're saying they don't like these things, but it is what they are used to doing with children. You'd think they would be good at this. Maybe they don't want to do them at work as well as at home.\" \"You work hard, but can juggle it in your own way,\" says Rivka Isaacson, 33, a biophysics postdoc. \"You have more autonomy than you might in other jobs. It's constantly stimulating and you meet and work with interesting people.\" That said, [Jenny Rohn] and Isaacson both feel very aware of their gender. \"Every interviewing panel I've been up against has been exclusively male, which is intimidating,\" says Isaacson. \"I don't think the male chauvinism is conscious any more, or as overt as in the old days,\" says Rohn, \"but it's still there. When it comes to recruiting a position or selecting speakers for high-profile lectures, men naturally think of their mates first. You still see seminar series with hardly any females speaking, and shortlisted positions with no, or few, female candidates.\"
