Well in ‘good’ news zero percent of today’s Nobel Prize in Physics was won by physicists?

What about the fraction of physicists?

Doesn’t get much more blatant than this does it

sarahkorse.bsky.social•154 days ago

But what could those number mean?🤔

It's even worse if you consider Nobel prize share. 4/5 the women who got the prize got a quarter share: the smallest share given by the committee. Only the most recent woman got more: a third share

Oh dear - what happened in 2000?

larrynittler.bsky.social•155 days ago

Do you mean the drop in women getting bachelors? I don't know

hbhammel.bsky.social•155 days ago

yes - that drop in women getting bachelors degrees was very strange

My guess: a change in the instructional program (CIP) codes used in the IPEDs.

A lot of wackadoodle (technical term) things can happen in the IPEDs data after DoE adopts a new CIP scheme. It's not always immediately apparent, either, b/c unis have to update their internal data reporting process.

Is that data world wide or just US institutions? If just US, could it be a result of 9/11, and the subsequent drop in international students at US schools?
