*NOTE: The subdiscipline "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology" together is included; however, "Biochemistry" alone and "Molecular Biology" alone are excluded. This is keeping with the NSF data that indicates that women are still underrepresented in the subdiscipline "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology," but not in the broader "Biochemistry" and "Molecular Biology" disciplines.
