    Broken link ahoy! Looks as though the shortened version of the URL got linked to; the post is reachable from the 'The Difference Engine' page, though. :)

    What percentage of FCS's are eligible for such awards? (I'm guessing a higher percentage than got them) I see the same problem in geosciences.... I guess we just have to wait until the old, white dudes start to die off!

    Anonymous - Probably a pretty high percentage. ACM is an international organization that stems both industry and academia. It's only in Western countries we see this large lack of women in STEM fields; things aren't as stark in many other places.
