Sarah, Though you make an excellent point, I think the article addresses a deeper societal issue than overpopulation and losing women in science careers. 21st century women often have to make a choice between career and family; those that think they can do both jobs well often get little sleep

I would suggest that this famous evolutionary biologist is stuck back in the Cretaceous period when it comes to attitudes. Both women and men need to have a life besides science. Choices need to be made in life, and sometimes family has to come before doing that other experiment right away, or
