A new study published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science suggests that there is discernable gender bias even among trained scientists who emphasize objectivity. Fake resumes were created as part of a job application and submitted to scientists for feedback. Half of the evaluators were told that the prospective employee's name was "John." The other half was told that the prospective employee's name was "Jennifer." Male appliants were not only rated higher, but were also offered a higher starting salary.
Do you believe there is a gender bias? Does anyone have examples of gender bias in STEM?
