A $4 million federal study claims that perfume and female clothing can "strongly trigger gendered assumptions" that can prevent women from becoming cardiologists.
The National Institutes of Health is funding research on whether there is bias against women in the government's peer review grant making process. Results produced by Dr. Molly Carnes, a woman, have concluded that women are at a disadvantage in receiving federal funding for their research. Carnes is the director of the University of Wisconsin's Center for Women's Health Research.
