*nods* Also, if you do talk to female profs or people in the program, you can also ask about if there's any help for soemone who does choose to have a kid during grad school/postdoc. For both, i know you still get maternity leave, but that can be more trouble than it's worth. Some of the society's have started fellowships so that women who choose to start a family as a postdoc can get funding to hire a tech for a year to help them be able to continue their work. It's something that most disciplines are actively trying to address, but as far as monetarily, the men have the same issues w/ enough money to raise a family anyways.
