Bias Persists for Women of Science, a Study Finds; New York Times, 9/24/12

Kenneth Chang, New York Times; Bias Persists for Women of Science, a Study Finds: "Science professors at American universities widely regard female undergraduates as less competent than male students with the same accomplishments and skills, a new study by researchers at Yale concluded. As a result, the report found, the professors were less likely to offer the women mentoring or a job. And even if they were willing to offer a job, the salary was lower. The bias was pervasive, the scientists said, and probably reflected subconscious cultural influences rather than overt or deliberate discrimination."
