I thought I was pretty knowledgeable about all the bullshit bias in the world but I never heard this one.  🤬 
How am I not surprised? We do need to learn these stories so we have the confidence to follow our own conviction and fight the powers that be

Not quite that but in Animal Languages a couple of studies were seen less scientific because they weren’t the traditional approach, they were structured and design by women who were trying to understand things differently. One of them as Jane Goodall, it took a while for her studies to be considered “scientific”

I went to a storytelling night where a woman talked about studying cervical mucus in a semen research group. She found out it plays a much bigger role in selection than previously thought, but semen fitness has been the narrative forever

whoa 🤯 i love this article.
their story is deep on so many levels, and it's making me feel so grateful heroes like them are out there expanding boundaries of science and society

It's one of the best examples to get skeptics to see how bias plays out in the physical real world. 

First generation airbags *killed* women and children because they tested for the default male.

“If you’re going on a date, how is a woman even going to get in the car?” Elon making sure the roadster worked for women. Better than crash test dummy story, but still women are thought of as an accessory (a man’s date) not a main actor (the driver) 🤬

Saw recently the news about the first female crash test dummy testing that was done in Sweden & the reports from that. I worked b4 at the Johns Hopkins Center for Research and Policy and was shocked at how car seat safety regulations only became a fed requirement in 1985, thanks to women-led research /advocacy efforts
