Huh?
"A study shows that women are up against a huge obstacle when it comes to working in science: They are consistently perceived as less accomplished and capable simply because of their gender."
Really?
My oldest duaghter attended a male-dominated private university, one that specializes in aeronautical engineering. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from the Honors program, and the only one in her graduating class to receive her particular degree, a BS in Physical Science Education. One subject didn't even have a class, so she met with the professor for that one. She received paid internships from the Argonne National Laboritory and from TCU, doing stuff that's way over my head. She now teaches high school physics in New York, after tutoring chemistry, calculus, and physics at the local community college.
Her older brother degreed in Electrical Engineering at the top ten ranked enormous state university. There, the Women in Engineering program coddled and hand-held all the women engineering students, giving them special treatment, and leaving the men to carry on for themselves..
In my limited study, with a sample set of two, I find gender bias in science and engineering... in favor of women.
