Women learn that it is better to keep quiet than to speak up and gain disadvantage. This is also in the talk I gave in the CSWA session on Unconscious Bias (posted at http://www.aas.org/cswa/unconsciousbias.html).<br /><br />It's nice that new studies keep reaffirming what has been found previously (on various topics like this), but I'm mildly perplexed by the reporting that indicates it's new knowledge. And frustrated. Why is is so hard for this kind of evidence to remain known? Why does it fade so easily in the public eye again and again?Caroline Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04941782458651388038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6374266320411149509.post-68646373782552738322012-10-03T10:06:08.277-04:002012-10-03T10:06:08.277-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Caroline Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04941782458651388038noreply@blogger.com
