Yale</a> concluded. </span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">As a result, the report found, the professors were less likely to offer the women mentoring or a job. And even if
they were willing to offer a job, the salary was lower. </span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">The bias was pervasive, the scientists said, and probably reflected subconscious cultural influences rather than overt
or deliberate discrimination. </span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Female professors were just as biased against women students as their male colleagues, and biology professors just
as biased as physics professors — even though more than half of biology majors are women, whereas men far outnumber women in physics.
</span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">“I think we were all just a little bit surprised at how powerful the results were — that not only do the faculty in
biology, chemistry and physics express these biases quite clearly, but the significance and strength of the results was really quite striking,” said
<a href="http://bbs.yale.edu/molecularcell/people/jo_handelsman-2.profile" target="_blank">
Jo Handelsman</a>, a professor of molecular, cellular and developmental biology at Yale.

<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Dr. Handelsman was the senior author of

an article reporting the findings</a>, published online on Monday by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
</span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 9pt"><a href="http://ki.mit.edu/people/faculty/hopkins" target="_blank">Nancy Hopkins</a>, a professor of biology at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology who has long talked about continuing barriers to women in science, described the study as “enormously important.”
</span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Dr. Hopkins said that small slights, accumulated over the course of a career, slowed many women of science. “They
don’t have the confidence level to get to the top,” she said. “They’re getting undercut.”
</span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">She added, “People tend to think that the problem has gone away, but alas, it hasn’t.”
</span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Discussions of gender bias in science and mathematics have long been complicated by a host of factors — including
whether women receive preferential treatment through affirmative action or whether innate differences indeed exist between men and women.
</span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">To avoid such complications, the Yale researchers sought to design the simplest study possible. They contacted professors
in the biology, chemistry and physics departments at six major research universities — three private and three public, unnamed in the study — and asked them to evaluate, as part of a study, an application from a recent graduate seeking a position as a laboratory
manager. </span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">All of the professors received the same one-page summary, which portrayed the applicant as promising but not stellar.
But in half of the descriptions, the mythical applicant was named John and in half the applicant was named Jennifer.
</span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">About 30 percent of the professors, 127 in all, responded. (They were asked not to discuss the study with colleagues,
limiting the chance that they would compare notes and realize its purpose.) </span>
<span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">On a scale of 1 to 7, with 7 being highest, professors gave John an average score of 4 for competence and Jennifer
3.3. John was also seen more favorably as someone they might hire for their laboratories or would be willing to mentor.
</span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">The average starting salary offered to Jennifer was $26,508. To John it was $30,328.
</span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">The bias had no relation to the professors’ age, sex, teaching field or tenure status. “There’s not even a hint of
a difference there,” said Corinne Moss-Racusin, a postdoctoral social <a title="Recent and archival health news about psychology." href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/health/diseasesconditionsandhealthtopics/psychology_and_psychologists/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier" target="_blank">
psychology</a> researcher who was the lead author of the paper. </span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Dr. Handelsman said previous studies had shown similar subconscious bias in other occupations. But when she discussed
the concerns with other scientists, many responded that scientists would rise above it because they were trained to analyze objective data rationally.
</span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">“I began to, on the one hand, wonder, ‘Well, perhaps that’s true: maybe people who are trained to be objective have
some way of ferreting these out,’ ” she said. “But on the other hand, if scientists were no different from all the other groups that have been studied, that’s something that we should know.”
