"Grant reviewers award lower scores to proposals from women... even when they don’t know the gender of the applicant. That’s because male scientists tend to use broader, less specific words — which reviewers seem to prefer" https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-01402-4 … Got it: be more vague.

Probability that word choice was pre-registered hypothesis--and that "detection" control," and bacteria" were pre-registered as "broad," and "brain," "community,' and "oral" were pre-registered as "narrow"--is zero.

The risibly arbitrary categorization of words as "broad" and "narrow" positively reeks of p-hacking.

The full paper is paywalled, but from what I could gather the broadness variable seems to be derived from the same dataset, based on the distribution of words. Something feels off here. The example of "brain" being more broad than "bacteria" isn't particularly convincing either.
