UK politicians demand action over dearth of female scientists

An influential group of UK politicians has demanded that more be done to increase the number of women in scientific careers.

In a report, the House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee points the finger at universities. Many universities are devolving their responsibilities to deal with this issue down to the level of research groups, the report says, and are thus failing in their obligation to improve science careers for all researchers.
