Nice to see an evidence-based response on this.
As for my own experience, I attended separate PhD programmes on opposite US coasts in physics and in maths but only had funding to complete one PhD, so did maths.
I love physics, but I guess it didn't have quite enough maths for me.
🧵I was on GMB this morning responding to Katherine Birbalsingh's comments that girls aren't choosing physics at A-Level because they don't like the hard maths and are more empathetic than boys...
I had a *lot* more to say but sadly didn't get time.
So here is a thread! 1/14
