In an October 22 article for Inside Higher Ed, SSRC program director Diana Rhoten and Stephanie Pfirman of Barnard College consider the twin trends of an "interdisciplinary arms race" and the effort to diversify the scientific enterprise. Could one trend support the other, if more women are attracted to interdisciplinary science?
