My contentious "personal prior beliefs" are that men and women are equally good at science. My cognitive bias is that I am highly suspect of evidence that purports to show that one is better than the other at thoughtwork. I find that repellant and against everything I've been raised to believe true. So yes, you've got me on this one.


Well I have the same priors but I'm willing to at least consider the possibility that I'm wrong about this. Admittedly I'm married to a lady with EE degree so this wouldn't be the first time I've had to consider that. Inb4 n=1 etc. :-)


Yeah, my mom was an EE-in-practice and my wife's a surgeon. I'm totally open to being proven wrong. :-) I just don't think this is the study that's going to do it.
