    Biochemistry and Health [Sciences/Policy/Sociology] major. A pre-med student, if you couldn't guess. Lots of science classes and and ever-increasing number of hours spent in labs! It seems I have a fair number of female compatriots now, but I know a high percentage of originally premed students give up the ghost after organic, so we'll see how that applies as I move up through more advanced sciences.

    I'm in Earth/Environmental Sciences! Either working in consulting for a bit or going for my masters in biogeochemistry in a few months

    PhD in developmental psychology followed by a postdoc in cognitive neuroscience. Now I'm joint faculty across the two fields. The boys' club of neuroscience was a huge change for me after psychology. In neuroscience I always feel like I have to fight against that initial assumption that as I woman I probably don't know what I'm doing. Forces you to be a better scientist and more prepared. I'm happy I got to "grow up" in developmental psychology before tackling that.

    I'm studying geology.

    There's about 50/50 of males and females in my class though, which is pretty impressive seeing as a majority of geologists are men :)

    biogeochemistry? what kind of work does one do?

    edit: wiki'd it, you're in the clear.

    i figured it was more closely resembling fluvial geomorphology, but its more broad (see what i did there?)

    How about engineers?? I have a master's in environmental engineering, although I should have been an English major given the number of reports I write/review! The places I've worked have had a lot of female engineers/scientists but college was mostly men.

    Masters in Molecular Microbiology! About 50:50 in my lab, so females aren't that rare. . .

    YES! My Bachelor's is in Geology. It was that way when I was in school for it. When I started my Master's in Engineering, well, there are only 2 girls in the grad program I'm in ha!

    Hooray for Science!! I have a B.S. in Biology..taught High School for a while. I decided to get my Masters in Healthcare Administration so I deal mostly with paper pushing now. But I'm considering going to Med School..not sure though.
