The link isn't working and I looked through the site but didn't find it. Where did you find the link?

Some very interesting findings. This field is becoming increasingly female-dominated (my whole master's program is 90% women) and there's a clear lack of minority/under-represented groups becoming researchers in the discipline.

 

This also made me feel really young, as I will only be 24 when I start doctoral study. 27-29 is much younger than that median age of 33. I'll be interested to see how that helps/hinders me in the end when looking for a job.

I don't think age should affect you that much. Some of the people in my program are very young -- two are barely 21 -- while still gaining recognition for their research.

If anything, it affects those that are 33. Much more is expected of us. Not that I care much because I'm not in this field anymore.
