President Maria Klawe shared her views on what's keeping women from entering physics, engineering and computer science during an interview with Judy Woodruff on PBS Newshour, Thursday, Apr. 19.

Klawe discussed why some students consider these sciences a "boy thing," what we lose by losing the female perspective, the opportunities women may be missing, and her strategy of incorporating creative computer games to draw more females into the computer science department.
