I wonder if shorter PhD programs, like they have at Oxford might give women more time in the workforce before they start becoming concerned with starting a family. Maybe starting earlier puts them in a more senior position at a younger age.
- scottlocklin 7y agoShorter and fewer Ph.D.s (aka constrain the supply the way the AMA does) would actually solve all the problems mentioned here. Might even kickstart stalled scientific and technological development.
- selimthegrim 7y agoHow do you figure the latter? Redirecting resources elsewhere?

Or it could be an insufficiently high IQ test at present; dumb people get in the way and cause problems.
