Science’s gender gap: the shocking data that reveal its true extent. Really!

More baloney from the once prestigious Nature journal! This is a book review of "Equity for Women in Science: Dismantling Systemic Barriers to Advancement Cassidy R. Sugimoto and Vincent Larivière Harvard Univ. Press (2023)"

Gender equality does not mean 50%, but gender equity does suggest that!!! So is the intent by the authors of this book!

Women do make different choices than men and vice versa! In many cases there is nothing wrong with these choices. 

Is it also not curious that these gender equity warriors rarely demand more female coal miners? Are female coal miners not terribly underrepresented despite the persistent rumor that pay in the mining industry is generally quite good?

Some of the statistics presented in this book review looks tortured!

Science’s gender gap: the shocking data that reveal its true extent Analysis of which researchers publish, get credit, move around, get funding, collaborate and receive citations shows how deeply ingrained the bias against women is.
