Re:Authors’ names have ‘astonishing’ influence on peer revie... by emacsen on Wednesday October 12, 2022 @08:08AM (#33175756)
We didn't have a huge study, <40 participants, so whatever we found wasn't publishable, but I remember the results surprised me.

At the time, I felt like "Sexism is dead" and the university I was in was 2/3rds women to 1/3rd men, so we'd never find a bias.

As a young man (18/19) I learned to question my assumptions. I thought "It's the 90s, sexism is dead.", but it just wasn't true.
