A Rhodes researcher, who felt this may be of interest to the RU Science Faculty, alerted me to the above blog post (in Scientific American) which refers to a Sept 2012 study in the PNAS entitled:
"Science faculty’s subtle gender biases favor male students".
For those who might like to read more on this topic, I see that the article has attracted several citations since publication:
