Gender bias still exists

In January, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) published a poll, carried out by Ipsos MORI on behalf of the RSC, on teenager's attitudes towards science. The poll canvassed the opinions of over 500 teenagers aged 11-16 from around the UK and found that more teenagers wanted to work in a scientific environment than any other option. However, when split by gender, it showed that fewer girls wanted to work in science than in a zoo, a tv studio or a classroom.
