Skeptical journal editors declined to publish it. SinTce then, though, many commentators have echoed her message. And now the evidence has become clear: The pandemic has exacerbated existing gender disparities. According to a new study, mothers suffered a 33% larger drop in research hours compared with fathers in the months after the pandemic started. Mothers also took on more household and child care duties. The findings bolster calls for universities, funding agencies, and other organizations to do more to support female scientists. |
