Fine. But we should be asking: 1) Why framing science in terms of identity discourages girls from science? What identities are being modeling in science and society? 2) How are scientific institutions decreasing accessibility for women who are interested and trained in science?https://twitter.com/JamesDevittNYU/status/1093195140909416448 …

While we are at it, how about we encourage reporters to 'just put a bloody link to the original scientific report' instead of 'BEING the link to the original scientific report'. How about it
@sirenabergman ? Got a link for us? Or the names of the researchers? -
As stated in the piece, the main researcher (who I quoted) is Marjorie Rhodes. Full research can be found here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0956797618823670 … FWIT I don't love the implications of the findings either - I wasn't endorsing them, just reporting on them.

Fair enough on the reporting point! My worry was certainly more with the focus and design of the study. Seems like the benefits of this kind of intervention would be mixed at best, and wouldn't really address the deeper issue of making STEM more accessible. Thanks.
