Even when women outnumber men, gender bias persists among science undergrad https://www.radres.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1568792 Thu, 2 Jul 2026 03:07:25 GMT Mon, 24 Aug 2020 16:14:53 GMT Copyright © 2020 Radiation Research Society (RADRES) Even when women outnumber men, gender bias persists among science undergrad https://www.radres.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1568792 https://www.radres.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1568792 This study, conducted at Colorado State University (home to our current RRS President, Dr. Susan Bailey), relates that representation should not be confused with equality.

"In physical science classes -- where women are more traditionally underrepresented -- women were indeed outnumbered, and they had higher average GPAs, statistically higher course grades, and were 1.5 times more likely to earn an A or A-plus than men. However, the researchers found that both men and women presumed that the men in the class outperformed the women."

What do you think may be some solutions to gender bias outside of representation?
