Here appear occasional jottings of my random musings. Profound or jejune, they reveal the contours of my mental universe, with world history, intellectual history, civilizations, philosophy, religion, society, knowledge, and books as some major themes. Since May 2011, this blog has been exclusively focused on Singapore. All my other reflections are now posted in "Notes from Noosphere" (see link under "Miscellany" on the right margin).

Gender pattern in US PhDs
Women have steadily increased their share of PhDs granted in the US over the last thirty years.
However, the differences among the academic fields remain marked. Men dominate in engineering (80%) and physical sciences (70%), and women dominate in education (67%). Women slightly outnumber men (52-58%) in the remaining fields of social sciences, life sciences, and humanities.
