Welcome to #profchat tonight's topic is: racial and gender bias in STEM.

dawnbazely Feb 16 @ 8:00 PM EST

1)Undergrad Biology Males Under-Estimate Academic Performance of Their Female Peers. Did Grunspan et al.'s study surprise you? #profchat

YorkUScientists Feb 16 @ 8:01 PM EST

@dawnbazely #profchat Are we starting yet? Are we starting yet?

@YorkUScientists @dawnbazely Welcome to #profchat

TLJKelly Feb 16 @ 8:03 PM EST

@dawnbazely @michaelhoffman Based mainly on what we hear about cvs, papers etc., viewed differently when authored by male/female. #profchat

remiholden Feb 16 @ 8:04 PM EST

excited to join #profchat tonight, Remi checking in from Denver!

2) How early do you think, that gender bias develops in your STEM students? #profchat #cdnpse #highered

dawnbazely Feb 16 @ 8:08 PM EST

@dinamoati @philosophypaul, I'm fascinated by this persistent perception. I also see it amongst male vs female biology undergrads #profchat

TLJKelly Feb 16 @ 8:09 PM EST

@michaelhoffman @dawnbazely Yes I was liked it. Like the longitudinal aspect as well - you can see it get worse over the course. #profchat

nadia_toronto Feb 16 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: not surprised. In bio undergrad most science role models we saw were males @dawnbazely #profchat

@ambartosik hi Anna! Good to see you here! #profchat

philosophypaul Feb 16 @ 8:09 PM EST

@dawnbazely A2 Gender bias may develop as early as K depending on social influences. #profchat

KirkwoodLab Feb 16 @ 8:10 PM EST

@TLJKelly @dawnbazely @michaelhoffman Concerns me this is also happening w/ peer-review, making it harder for women to publish #profchat

dinamoati Feb 16 @ 8:10 PM EST

@dawnbazely @philosophypaul do you see it demonstrated in class behaviour? Too bad we are still seeing this in 2016 #profchat

nadia_toronto Feb 16 @ 8:10 PM EST

@ambartosik lol I didn't even know what #profchat was, but I'm literally writing a paper for a conference on gender&race bias in STEM now

TLJKelly Feb 16 @ 8:10 PM EST

@dawnbazely @dinamoati @philosophypaul Well these were BIOL Ss. I wonder if it’s worse in disciplines where women more underrep’d #profchat

dawnbazely Feb 16 @ 8:11 PM EST

My male B+ students have higher self-confidence than their counterpart female A peers @RusulAlrubail @dinamoati @philosophypaul #profchat

VicMetcalf_NZ Feb 16 @ 8:11 PM EST

Not really surprising on reflection, but interesting and good to see this research being done #profchat

TLJKelly Feb 16 @ 8:11 PM EST

@KirkwoodLab @dawnbazely @michaelhoffman I’m quite happy when I see journals not using first names for authors’ names. #profchat

dinamoati Feb 16 @ 8:11 PM EST

A2: I think it can develop early on depending on many elements that affect our attitudes, values and perceptions #profchat

@dawnbazely @dinamoati @philosophypaul not surprised at all. #profchat

VicMetcalf_NZ Feb 16 @ 8:12 PM EST

A2: at an absolute guess, and depending on where and how they are taught it could happen as early as 7or 8 yo. #profchat

@dawnbazely @RusulAlrubail @dinamoati @philosophypaul I'd hazard it’s with C Ss w higher self-confidence cf female A Ss #profchat

andrewsmyk Feb 16 @ 8:12 PM EST

A2: Seeing a rise in the number of female students in programming courses and classes are not traditional computer stereotypes. #profchat

dawnbazely Feb 16 @ 8:13 PM EST

What about other STEM subjects: Grunspan et al. could repeat their Biology study a lot! #profchat https://t.co/D48cPvKzF6

@VicMetcalf_NZ agree. Hopefully it raises more awareness! #profchat

nadia_toronto Feb 16 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2: depends on message reinforced at home. For some it can be early as KG (boys play with tools, build etc) @dawnbazely #profchat

dinamoati Feb 16 @ 8:14 PM EST

@TLJKelly @dawnbazely @philosophypaul exactly my thinking, how about other domains? #profchat

andrewsmyk Feb 16 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2: Seeing a rise in the number of female students in programming courses and classes are not traditional programmer stereotypes. #profchat

remiholden Feb 16 @ 8:14 PM EST

a2 whether in STEM or arts i have a hard time imaging Ss aren't biased from early age in some way re gender (& identity generally) #profchat

dinamoati Feb 16 @ 8:15 PM EST

@stephwurking hello there Stephen! #profchat

dawnbazely Feb 16 @ 8:15 PM EST

3) Do you generally consider gender bias more likely to be observed amongst older people in STEM, compared with youth? #profchat #highered

TLJKelly Feb 16 @ 8:15 PM EST

@dinamoati @dawnbazely @philosophypaul Saw Eddy present data 2 yr ago. Wanted to study this in our 1st yr classes 1/2 #profchat

remiholden Feb 16 @ 8:15 PM EST

and that's not to dismiss students, it's that's our biases are confirmed - and in some cases nurtured - from very early on #profchat

TLJKelly Feb 16 @ 8:16 PM EST

@dinamoati @dawnbazely @philosophypaul but more minority representation. does it change/stay same? 2/2 #profchat

davidimiller Feb 16 @ 8:16 PM EST

@philosophypaul @dawnbazely Have to define "gender bias". STEM stereotypes? That starts early (K-5). Bias in peer evals? Unclear. #profchat

andrewsmyk Feb 16 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2: My 13 yr old daughter says it is other girls that bring attention to her academic abilities. #profchat

nadia_toronto Feb 16 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2: from primary, as a female we don't see s many #WomenInSTEM role models @dawnbazely #profchat

dawnbazely Feb 16 @ 8:17 PM EST

A3: interestingly, I see gender bias declining with age amongst many of my male STEM colleagues (who have daughters) #ProfChat

dinamoati Feb 16 @ 8:17 PM EST

@remiholden but the thing is biases are learned, we are not born with biases so on a good note they can be unlearned, no? #profchat

KirkwoodLab Feb 16 @ 8:17 PM EST

@VicMetcalf_NZ @dawnbazely I have anecdata from today that it starts as early as 6 yr old. Even my own son which boggles my mind #profchat

TLJKelly Feb 16 @ 8:17 PM EST

@dinamoati @dawnbazely @philosophypaul What do you mean specifically by class behaviour? #profchat

dinamoati Feb 16 @ 8:17 PM EST

@TLJKelly @dawnbazely @philosophypaul can you please share links with me? Very interested #profchat

VicMetcalf_NZ Feb 16 @ 8:17 PM EST

A3: Hard to answer this one, possibly, but entirely dependent on social background etc #profchat

philosophypaul Feb 16 @ 8:18 PM EST

Unlearned, unconditioned, yes. #profchat https://t.co/Fp0onh1Ivc

dinamoati Feb 16 @ 8:17 PM EST

TLJKelly Feb 16 @ 8:18 PM EST

@KirkwoodLab @dawnbazely @michaelhoffman This bias is pervasive & problematic as the Grunspan study shows it increases over time. #profchat

dawnbazely Feb 16 @ 8:19 PM EST

@VicMetcalf_NZ, I've actually seen many of my male #stem colleagues be more supportive of women as they age: they have daughers #profchat

remiholden Feb 16 @ 8:19 PM EST

@dinamoati of course & i continue to actively unlearn/working against biases & privileges i've taken for granted from an early age #profchat

ambartosik Feb 16 @ 8:19 PM EST

@prof_nch join us in the chat if you have time. Great to have your feedback on gender bias in STEM #profchat

VicMetcalf_NZ Feb 16 @ 8:19 PM EST

VicMetcalf_NZ Feb 16 @ 8:28 PM EST

A4) Yes, people who tend to hold one particular bias (e.g. a gender one) also often hold other biases (eg. race) #profchat

RusulAlrubail - Moderator Feb 16 @ 8:28 PM EST

A4 If there is gender bias then there is race/class bias-Bias is often intersectional & we need to recognize it across system #profchat

nadia_toronto Feb 16 @ 8:28 PM EST

And then certain science typecast women. Nursing, dental hygiene, dental assisting still largely female #profchat https://t.co/gxRGoJimqI

@dawnbazely No, I haven’t. Have they been shown to improve self-awareness? #profchat Wld be interested if had.
