Larry Richardson appeared to be an early-career mathematician with potential, racking up more than 130 citations in 4 years. It would all be rather remarkable—if the studies weren’t complete gibberish. And if Larry wasn’t a cat. #InternationalCatDay scim.ag/4lg3wTp

So-called objective metrics in academia disadvantage women. Letters of reference for women tend to have less stand-out adjectives. Women's papers are cited less, their grants are smaller on avg & their papers have a harder time getting past reviewers. www.livescience.com/human-behavi...
