Out in PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Inequality is not only hard to solve. Sometimes, it is hard to *see*. We ask a simple question: Do people notice when members of minority groups are absent? Across field studies and experiments, the answer was often no.

We don’t notice when minorities are missing (eg, don’t notice there aren’t any women surgeons). And we notice and inflate our estimates when a few are around (eg, there are TONS of male nurses! except there aren’t). And, we don’t notice that we don’t notice. @rasharasha.bsky.social #PMIG2024
