Are Men Smarter? The Debate Continues
In the Globe, libertarian
Cathy Young looks askance at the NAS report on women in science. Her arguments sound very much like those of Larry Summers....
However you feel about this debate, there is no question that Summers' involvement in it has elevated the level of attention paid to the issue. I still think Summers was wrong, both on the substance of the question and in the way in which he presented his argument. But no question, his Jimmy the Greek moment has been a boon to discussion about gender disparities in science.
