What people are saying
The discussions reflect a wide range of perspectives on the article, highlighting systemic biases, such as the point that 'men are invited to submit papers at double the rate of women.' Comments indicate urgency, with phrases like 'we still have a long way to go' and concern that 'it will take about 100 years' to achieve parity, emphasizing the seriousness of the gender gap issue. These insights illustrate a critical tone and a desire for progressive change, underscoring the impactful nature of the article's findings.
Most discussions express a general agreement with the article's claims about gender representation in STEMM fields.
The discussions indicate high interest, as many participants are actively sharing related articles and data.
Participants refer to specific research studies and findings, showcasing a deep engagement with the topic.
Many posts highlight the significant implications of the gender gap report, indicating a belief that it could drive future changes in STEMM.
Abstract in brief
- Women are underrepresented in the STEMM workforce, with significant gender gaps persisting, particularly in fields like surgery, computer science, physics, and mathematics.
- A study analyzed 36 million authors across 6000 journals globally, revealing that men are invited to submit papers twice as often as women, indicating systemic biases in academic publishing.
- Without reforms in education, mentoring, and publishing practices, it is likely that the gender gap in STEMM will continue for generations.

Article on the gender gap in science. Interesting analysis. Slight chuckle at the fact that the first author on paper analyzing % women as first author is "Luke Holman". https://t.co/EuksJ0skSk

Despite this, gender imbalance and sexism are still huge problems in science worldwide that affect women scientists disproportionately. Know more here - https://t.co/tBxSWk5uIN & https://t.co/8kjodMLT6Z (2/3)

Sin embargo, la brecha de género en las publicaciones científicas siguen siendo un problema sin resolver. Las mujeres no sólo publican menos... En las autorías ocupan posiciones de menor "prestigio" y los papers de mayor impacto tienen menos autoras. https://t.co/tSLzGScZFM

@barryjcooke1 @ChiefSciCan @CellStemCell The excellence of women has always been there but has been historically marginalized and ignored. This study https://t.co/olGlYfdbc1 shows that without proactive action it will persist for 50-100 years in some disciplines.
