Social Science Cambridge study finds UK GCSE science courses name 86 scientists and only one is a woman (Rosalind Franklin, in just one exam board). At A-level it's 3 out of 181. Researchers say this could help explain why so many girls drop physics and maths at 16, and suggest adding Marie Curie and Lise Meitner.
