in the us, i believe women overwhelming have higher degree in men for BIO, like 60%, often they are attracted to nursing, but thier ratio in volunteer lab is about the same 60% women mostly, and the male PI prefers them over men too. although men still dominate the PHD levels though. and then biotech employers prefer women as well over men. they are slowly getting there though with other stem jobs.
