Girls are believed to avoid STEM careers because they think they are not as good at those subjects (Credit: Geralt/Pixabay/CC0)

The low percentage of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers is often attributed to men being believed to be better at the sort of thinking those fields require. Though several studies have debunked the myth, they have largely been based on results acquired from various standardized tests. Now, researchers from Pennsylvania's Carnegie Mellon University have found evidence that is hard to overlook: brain scans proving that young girls and boys use the same mechanisms and networks in the brain to solve math problems.

                I am shocked that the young girls thought that boys were smarter, what makes them think that they aren't as smart as boys?🙀
