we want more children

8/9/2011: From Insidehighered.com. PLoS ONE link here.

Nearly half of female faculty members in top science departments wish
they’d had more children, but didn’t because of their careers, while
about a quarter of their male counterparts feel the same way, according
to a new study.

This is a large but not commonly considered part of the sacrifices involved in an academic career. The solution is obvious: Count every kid as a publication and add it to the parents’ H-indices.
