It is true that most scientists are male, but the picture of science as male activity may be a major reason why fewer girls than boys opt for science, except when it comes to biology, which is seen as "female".

A. opinion polls are unflattering
B. science is badly taught in schools
C. scientists are shown negatively in the media
