A new study shows that from 2000 to 2019, women were credited for their work far less often than male peers.
Two male peers who were also working on DNA, James Watson and Francis Crick, obtained Franklin's data without her permission. They then used it to produce a model of DNA and its double-helix structure. Watson and Crick went on to win aFranklin's exclusion may sound like obnoxious sexism from a bygone era. Certainly, it can't still be happening today.shows that from 2000 to 2019, women were credited for their work far less often than male peers.
The findings raised a challenge."If you only see the names of the women who are published relative to men, all you see is the outcome. You don't see people who are missing," Lane says."We were interested in finding out whether there were other missing Rosalinds out there." Lane and her team didn't stop there. They also surveyed over 2400 scientists, both male and female. Their responses indicated that while both men and women were often not listened to within their research teams, women were much more likely than men to say their work was ignored and that their careers were negatively affected.
And why is it that senior researchers are more often male than female? There are many contributing factors, but Berkes notes that women they spoke with reported feeling that their work was being overlooked and that they were not listened to. "[Scientists] are not taught how to manage," Lane says."We are academics and geeks. [We often think] dealing with humans is not as important. But managing smart, intense, driven individuals on research teams is hard. Learning how to do that better is something we all should do."

Amid campaign, Mastriano's disputed dissertation made publicA Canadian university has quietly made public Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano's 2013 doctoral thesis about a legendary World War I hero, including six pages of recently added corrections that, in some cases, do not appear to fix anything. Researchers who have long criticized Mastriano's investigation into U.S. Army Sgt. Alvin C. York as plagued by factual errors, amateurish archaeology and sloppy writing say the dissertation, released last month by the University of New Brunswick, echoes the problems in his 2014 book based on the same research. Mastriano won the Republican primary in May thanks, in part, to a late endorsement by former President Donald Trump.
