www.nature.comWho’s quitting academia? Data reveal gender gaps in surprising fieldsEven in scientific areas in which women are well represented, they are up to 40% more likely than men to leave research within 20 years.

I'm somehow surprised (for both women and men) it's that high, given the poor state of funding and perverse incentives to publish vs doing important science.
