Ill-conceived attempts to "fix" the problem of girls not going into science were likely to backfire, Prof Rippon argued.
One infamous example of this was the European Commission's Science Is A Girl Thing video released in 2017 which was swiftly dropped "because it was so awful".
"It showed girls in lab coats testing lipstick and giggling a lot," Prof Rippon said.
She added: "Science is something everybody should engage with.
"Let's not make science girly.
"Let's make science interesting to anyone."
来自英国阿斯顿大学的里彭教授说,由于被“男人来自火星,女人来自金星”的信仰所误导,科学正蒙受损失。
吉娜·里彭(Gina Rippon)教授说,是时候揭穿性别差异在我们大脑根深蒂固的神话了。
她强调,事实上从大脑的结构和功能上看,男生和女生并无明显差别。
但经历甚至态度能在物理等级上改变“可塑造的”大脑,引起它的结构变化。
这就是导致男女生从早期开始向不同方向发展的因素,来自英国阿斯顿大学的教授Rippon说道。
女孩倾向于人际关系技巧和艺术所吸引的时候,男孩更倾向于成为科学家和工程师。
即便女生进入科学领域,她们更多选择类似生物、心理学和社会学这样“较浅显”的学科,而非数学或物理。
