Don’t mess with delusions?

A study in 2012 got professors in the USA to rate a fictional CV for a science job, which was labelled either John or Jennifer as the name of the applicant. The ‘males’ got the majority vote.
    Doing the study again this year got a majority for the ‘female’ applicants. The human behaviour industry is not amused by this debunking of the presence of an anti-female bias in science.
