Summary:
The scientific method is supposed to be objective. A scientist comes up with a hypothesis for how they think something works. Rigorous testing takes place. The scientist looks at the resulting data and determines whether the original idea was right or wrong. But that doesnt mean that science is bias-free. After all, science is an endeavor performed by scientists - people who come with their own beliefs and biases that influence how they see the world. A new study of gender bias in academic research puts the lens not on that bias, but instead on the interpretation of studies of it. And the results show another level of bias: Male scientists view studies of gender bias in academic research less favorably than do female scientists or male researchers in other fields.
