As a female computer science professor, I'd like to see a show exploring the reasons for the low numbers of females going into science, mathematics, and engineering. Why is this still the case more than 30 years after "women's liberation"? What are the barriers, both external and self-imposed, to math and science faced by girls and women at all levels of education? What is being done in Oregon and throughout the nation to address this problem? What should be done?
