What Others are Saying

"The question we must ask as a society is not 'can women excel in math, science and engineering?'-Marie Curie exploded that myth a century ago-but 'how can we encourage more women with exceptional abilities to pursue careers in these fields?'" - John Hennessy, Susan Hockfield and Shirley Tilghman, presidents of Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Princeton University, respectively.
