[Womeninmedicine] from this issue of Nature: Scientists’ salary data highlight US$18,000 gender pay gap

Ora

I am sorry to have missed last night's dinner at Stagioni and hope this did not cause any problems with the reservation - I have enjoyed the 2 past dinners I attended.

Something came up at the last minute - details available if desired.

PHD SURVEY

Gender pay gap exposed

Male researchers who gained PhDs in

2017, with jobs lined up, expect to earn

median annual salaries of U$S88,000,

compared with $70,000 for women,

the US National Science Foundation’s

annual census has found. Almost

50,000 recipients of research-related PhDs,

from 428 institutions, responded to the

Doctorate Recipients from US Universities

survey, whose results were published

in December. One reason for the gap is

the larger proportion of men in higherpaying

fields such as mathematics and

computer science, the two highest-paying

scientific fields. Men accounted for about

75% of doctoral degrees in those fields (a

proportion that has barely changed since

2007), and expected to earn $113,000

compared with $99,000 for women. And

about 75% of recipients in engineering are

male, down slightly from 79% in 2007. In

the lower-paid fields of psychology and

social sciences, women outnumbered men

by 59% to 41%. Lower-paying disciplines

showed more equity: in social sciences, for

example, men expected to earn $66,000

compared with $62,000 for women.

Men didn’t always fare better: women in

chemistry expected to earn $85,000 —

$5,000 more than their male counterparts.
