"I have no particular opinion on why there is a gender gap in certain fields of science. I have a lot of skepticism for various theories offered, but I have no theory of my own.

"Let's say the book features "Complicated real-world examples that force students to think and to demonstrate a deep conceptual understanding of calculus while using technology to interpret somewhat messy real-world data." Not realistic for the students I have. How important is this feature in my decision to adopt a calculus text? Very important because I would immediately reject such a text? Not important at all because I don't want this feature in my text?"

Not the story I was Googling for, but a classic from my freshman year. I was at that BP, and talked to the reporter briefly, but wasn't in the piece for obvious reasons.
When reading and examining different theories, I think that those people creating them had some idea. However, I can't believe in them , but still don't have my own. i'm a bit sceptical.
I loved the "Beer Practice" article!
I'll wager that the real problem is that the women's softball team is jealous. I know our co-ed intramural softball team would have had beer on the practice field if it didn't get in the way of running the bases, and used "beer fines" to punish players who didn't run out a fly ball, etc.
