Gender Bias
Why Do Women Leave Engineering?
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Study: Group dynamics of teamwork and internships deter many women in the profession.
WOMEN ARE EARNING GREATER SHARE OF STEM DEGREES, BUT DOCTORATES REMAIN GENDER-SKEWED
Women are more likely than men to withdraw from science
Science Faculty's Subtle Gender Biases Favor Male Students
Abstract
Despite efforts to recruit and retain more women, a stark gender disparity persists within academic science. Abundant research has demonstrated gender bias in many demographic groups

Think Your Credentials Are Ignored Because You're A Woman? It Could Be.
When I first became a professor I was 26. And female. (I'm no longer 26; still female.)
The combination made me anxious about whether students would take me seriously as an authority on the material I was trying to teach...
Women and Minorities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
Upping the NumbersSo my best guess, to provoke you, of what's behind [women's underrepresentation in the science and engineering workforce] is that the largest phenomenon, by far, is the general clash between people's legitimate family desires and employers' current desire for high power and high intensity...
Too Ethical to Get Ahead?
Study finds that physicists are more likely to describe women as ethical scientists, but in ways that potentially limit their productivity and competitiveness.
Why Men Don't Believe the Data on Gender Bias in Science
Google engineer James Damore posted a treatise about gender differences on an internal company message board and was subsequently fired. The memo ignited a firestorm of debate about sex discrimination in Silicon Valley; this followed months of reporting on accusations of harassment at Uber and elsewhere.
How Stereotypes Impact Women in Physics
We believe science is rational and unbiased, but is the same true for scientists themselves? In recent years, researchers have begun to question how the culture of the scientific community influences the experiences of those who join it.
Quality of evidence revealing subtle gender biases in science is the eye of the beholder.
Scientists are trained to evaluate and interpret evidence without bias or subjectivity. Thus, growing evidence revealing a gender bias against women-or favoring men-within science, technol- ogy, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) settings is provocative and raises questions about the extent to which gender bias may contribute to women's underrepresentation within STEM fields. To the extent that research illustrating gender bias in STEM is viewed as convincing, the culture of science can begin to address the bias
