    How do you reconcile http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2015/04/08/1418878112.abstract … and http://www.pnas.org/content/109/41/16474.full … ?

        @slatestarcodex more comfortable with women colleagues, less comfortable with women subordinates?

        @slatestarcodex that's just a reframing of the question, but I think that framing suggests any number of possible hypotheses

        @slatestarcodex It'll be interesting to see how many citations each accumulates over time.

        @slatestarcodex Difference in methodology: in the 1st, the study tells you to imagine a hiring scenario, the 2nd they believe it's for real

        @mulldrifting @slatestarcodex Yes, the older study is "no-stakes", because there are no possible personal/professional consequences.

        @slatestarcodex the 2012 study used a marginal candidate, the 2015 study used a "research powerhouse" - top women may be protected from bias

        @slatestarcodex maybe women who manage to get similar quals to men despite bias against female students are better academics.

        @slatestarcodex all I'll say is whoever told them an abstract had to be 1 huge paragraph should be fired. Replacement of either gender OK
