No one told her that she couldn’t be a scientist

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH</p>

<p>Joline Fan didn’t know she couldn’t succeed in science until the
president of Harvard University said so. "What am I good at? Science and engineering," said Fan, one of 40 high-school students selected as finalists in a national science talent competition that begins Thursday in Washington.
The 17-year-old Upper Arlington senior had another thought for
Harvard’s Lawrence Summers. "There’s no reason why a woman can’t be the next Albert Einstein."</p>

<p>Summers has since apologized for his comments in January
about how "innate" differences between the genders might account
for the shortage of elite female scientists....</p>
