Sea of Engineers
I feel for these fish. According to a story seen on Science A GoGo, fish have a lot in common with Engineering schools here in the USA.
The study, appearing in Environmental Science & Technology, found that oxygen depletion, primarily caused by agricultural run-off and pollution, could spark the development of far more male fish than female, thereby threatening some species with extinction.
Could lack of oxygen explain the huge disproportion of male engineering student? Is the air cleaner and more oxygen rich at enclaves of the liberal arts like Williams and Amherst?
