Well, I believe in US, they are too busy finding ways to hit it big without putting any effort into the process, i.e. without significant investment of time and discipline. In addition to that, many are too preoccupied by gaming and entertainment industries. Bubble economy of servicing each other also have delusioned many from persuing their true talents in sciences. Although, there are still some that are dedicated to their true calling despite poor educational environments in sciences and math in high schools and even some universities. Hopefully, things will change, otherwise, my children will be educated outside of US.

Thanks Ajay.

I agree that women can be passionate about the sciences. The United States thought has a difficulty producing large groups of numerate people - male or female. I wonder why this is. I'm wondering if any one has seen any data on math literacy trends in various countries.

Hi,

Is there are any statistics on women in higher sciences versus men. Or any case studies on which women students were motivated to be better science students.

I have one such example , which I have posted in Videos called last lecture, there is a short clip, if you listen patiently on how female students can be encouraged to join science if they are taught in an innovative manner.
