Growing gender gap in Computer Science

The Boston Globe is reporting that there’s a growing gender gap in computer science. There’s a quote in there from Dr. Maria Klawe (who spoke at my CS convocation), if you get a chance to hear her speak about women in computing, make sure you attend. Supposedly women are better at multitasking, kind of makes you wonder why they’re not the ones designing our operating systems.
