The first section of this chapter examines the current status and recent trends in the participation of women, blacks and Hispanics in scientific fields. It also describes the schooling process by which students become scientists, and presents data about race and gender differences in participation in this pipeline. The next three sections describe potential influences on the learning opportunities, achievement, and choices of women and minorities that affect their pipeline participation. These include individual attributes (cognitive abilities and attitudes), schooling features, and societal factors. The paper concludes with suggestions for future policy-relevant research.
