This article, "The myth about women in science," introduces the myth that on average, people are more likely to a hire a man than a women with the same qualifications. To see if this myth is true this article discusses a national experiment where they test this myth by testing 873 faculty members at 371 institutions in 50 states and to get rid of the sex bias, they created fictional candidate profiles identical in every aspect except for gender, and asked the factuly members to rank the candidates for a job. The results were very suprising.
