  Great question! Sadly the answer is I don’t really know, we’re just as capable as the men, and it seems a fair few of us like science. Some sciences, like Biology, have lots of women in them… but Physics not so much. I’d love to inspire more girls to think about working in Physics! It’s the best job there is.
