In 1972, when Mac Jemison was just 16 years old. she arrived at Stanford University, where she intended to pursue a degree in engineering. But it wasn’t long after arriving in Palo Alto that she learned that the university’s science departments weren’t nearly as enthusiastic about her as she was about them. In one of her freshman science classes, she recalls, the professor looked at her like she was crazy. "I would ask a question, and he would look at me like it was the dumbest question and then move on." she says. "Then a white guy down the row asks the same question, and he says. ’Sharp observation. ’ It makes you start to really question yourself."
In the nearly four decades since, Jemison has proved repeatedly that she deserves a place at the table. She graduated from Stanford with a double major in chemical engineering and African-American studies, got a medical degree, and eventually became the world’s first woman of color to go to space. And without a doubt, this made her an exception.
But though Jemison is exceptional, and the kind of clear discouragement she faced 40 years ago may have lessened, for women working in or studying science, technology, engineering and math(known as STEM fields)today, the viewpoint remains surprisingly, and depressingly, similar to what it was when Jemison was at Stanford. In high school, girls only take 17 percent of computer-science AP(Advanced Placement)tests. They earn only 18 percent of computer and information-science degrees in college, and they make up just under a quarter of computer and math professionals. There has been much debate about why women are so underrepresented, including disputable discussions about potential natural differences between men and women when it comes to scientific or mathematical ability, but the bottom line is that the gender gap persists.
Texas Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson proposed an independent bill aimed at strengthening women’s achievement in math and science. If the Senate approves the bill, it would help women take time off for pregnancy or child care without being put into disadvantages in their research or pursuit of tenure(终身职位). [br] What’s the science departments’ attitude toward Jemison?
