As a follow up to Dr. Hudgings' post about creating a welcoming environment for women in physics, we wanted to share this interactive graph released by the New York Times. An exam was given in 65 developed countries by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.The results show that among a representative sample of 15-year-olds around the world, girls generally outperform boys in science — but not in the United States. The interactive graph depicts where the U.S. falls relative to other countries.
