There are also more female employees in my pharmaceutical company than males. For engineering, and maths, and possibly chemistry the trend is definitely more males than females. I don't agree that it is so for biological sciences. From my experience, there were more female science students in my undergraduate and graduate biochemistry / biotechnology programs than males.
