ha, that comic. You know for all my math-iness I'm not much of a scientist. I surprised myself after undergrad saying "Hmmm... perhaps I should apply all these funky algorithms". So it's always cool to read up on scientists. I have this thought that stats has historically been a bit less of a boys club than straight math, but I don't have history or numbers to back it up. Certainly in my department, at least the students were very balanced. You did see the ceiling though... the higher up the tenure track, the fewer women represented.
