Kate and Mme,

"It appears that those from non-religious backgrounds disproportionately self-select into scientific professions

Conversely, I would say that those from religious, esp. fundamentalist/evangelical families self-select away from scientific professions. It stems from an undercurrent of fear among religious folk that understanding scientific principles will result in undermining one's faith."

I think the above statements are the kind of thing Obama is talking about when he talks about not moving on. Come to our engineering office and you would be forced to reconsider.
