There an ongoing desire to know if the different between men and women in the sciences is due to innate differences, or due to society causing a difference.

Research on this topic is rare, so when some is available people are very interested.

Is it ongoing though? It seems to me that this is exceedingly rare and discouraged, given the political climate of most academic institutions in the western world.
