  abstract =     "The phenomenon of pipeline leakage exhibited in the
                 field of computer science is also observed in all the
                 sciences and mathematics. We can take advantages of the
                 similarities between computer science and all the
                 sciences to share the knowledge that has been gained to
                 reverse this phenomenon. Two important factors that
                 have been identified are (i) the number of math and
                 science courses taken in high school and (ii) the view
                 that many young women have of careers in science and
                 computer science as being antisocial in nature. Our
                 program addresses these factors by exposing the young
                 women to the challenges of scientific and technical
                 topics and by making role models and mentors readily
                 accessible to young women who demonstrate an interest
                 in science. After the common factors have been
                 extracted to make all science more attainable and more
                 attractive to women, each of the individual sciences,
                 mathematics, and computer science can address any
                 problems that are unique to that field.",
