    Holy shit found this gem in the peer review file: 'Claiming causal relationships requires a control and a treatment group and random assignment. YOU HAVE NONE OF THAT'

    Love it when a reviewer goes ALL CAPS. that's always a good sign.

      After super quick scan, none of the reviewers call them out on the shitty conclusions re diversity policies. they didn't even suggest "hey maybe it's bc women are more likely to take on underrepresented or 'at-risk' students?" I'm not even in this lit and I know this is an important aspect of the gender-bias-in-academia conversation. Fuck everyone involved in this study.

      Can't lose any harder than when you don't even do the most basic of science things to your science.
