LACK of sensitivity toward science students not only occurs here, but at colleges all over the United States. A male science student at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma. Washington wrote an article for News-week on Campus that discussed the difficulty of being a scientist at a predominantly liberal arts college. The author wrote, "On the rare occasions when I do speak from my knowledge of engineering, there is a language barrier. I can't talk mathematics to the people in my core classes because most of them don't understand...
Statistics compiled by Radcliffe College show that the shrinking numbers of students who both enter and remain in the fields of physical science and engineering are representative of a national decline. Here at Harvard efforts are being focused on keeping students--both male and female--with the desire and talent to continue in mathematics and science within those departments. Organizations such as Women in Science serve as support groups for female science concentrators at Harvard-Radcliffe by sponsoring a big sister-little sister network for women scientists, as well as other programs...
...jurors should not name a favorite among the three recommended finalists. The 16 board members, who serve up to nine years, now include two women, two blacks (one is the chairman, Roger Wilkins) and an Asian American, a response to past charges that it was an all-white, all-male establishmentarian club.

As an actor, it's fun to do things that are new and challenging...
...Neal Steigbigel, chief of infectious disease at Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx, thinks male-to-female transmission is bound to occur more often simply because of the mechanics of vaginal intercourse. Harvard Virologist Martin Hirsch, however, notes that herpes and syphilis appear to travel equally well in either direction between the sexes. Hirsch thinks the only reason more women have contracted the AIDS virus from men than the other way around is that many more men now have the disease. As more women become carriers, he suspects, they will infect their partners. "There is no doubt," says Dr. Margaret Fischl...
