Well, one of the things I liked about Schering was that their
scientists were about a 50/50 ratio of male/female. There was a
HUGE push of Women-in-Science in the 70s/80s from what I
remember reading about years ago, and it's likely it stemmed
from that.
Anyway, by the time *I* came there in the mid 1990s, there were
about the same amount of women and men who were scientists
there.
They also had a nice policy of NOT forcing retirement upon the
old. I remember a few 80+ year old scientists. One guy just
rolled around on skates (he was there long enough to be allowed
some eccentricities). In that position (years later, I went into
a different department as systems analyst) I was just a
secretary in a temp position, but it was awesome seeing the
culture at work. So you can keep your sexism.
I've seen worlds where it's not there anymore. tongue emoticon
