Thanks, that's a better and more balanced article than some on the subject that we've seen lately.
I've repeatedly gone into why I think there are fewer women science professors than men -- mostly about the demands of the job, and that women tend to value balance more than "success" -- that the article doesn't mention. But I like its combination of "yes, there are differences" and "so...?"
One of the reasons women have such a hard time in Science, is
other women ( Senior Scientists ) make it hard for them to advance.
In science, there's no meaner boss than a woman boss, and for sure, women are meaner towards other women, than are men.
