Dave Munger did some serious legwork on analyzing the data sets available. For what it&#8217;s worth 75% of the readers of this weblog are male. 75% of at least some European descent. 60% are irreligious. 80% atheists and agnostics. 1\/3 have graduate school degrees. 85% have completed calculus. I&#8217;ve done surveys regularly of the readership since 2004 or so, and they&#8217;re always 75-85% male, with the other figures about the same. The main difference is that the median reader is becoming more politically liberal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nobel-winning brain researcher retracts two papers.
