These scientists, led by Dr. Londa Schiebinger, wanted to understand how gender and sex influence scientific research. They looked at how being male or female might affect the way scientists think about and conduct their experiments. They also wanted to see if considering gender and sex could lead to better and more accurate results in science.
To do this, the scientists studied a variety of research projects in different fields like biology, chemistry, and physics. They looked at how many male and female scientists were involved in these projects and whether the results took into account any differences between men and women. By analyzing all this information, they were able to see patterns and trends that showed how gender and sex play a role in scientific studies.
Overall, the scientists found that it is important for researchers to think about gender and sex when designing their experiments. This way, they can make sure their results are more inclusive and representative of all people. By considering these factors, scientists can make their research more accurate and beneficial for everyone.
