Led by collaborators Dan Grunspan and Sarah Eddy, we have a new publication out in PLoS One that demonstrates that when you ask students in a biology classrooms who they think is smart - males under-nominate females, even females with high grades in the course and who speak out in whole class discussions. We found a similar pattern in three iterations of an introductory biology course. Further, the students who garnered the most nominations each term were always male. Might this be a case of the old boy's club starting as early as introductory biology?
