Because of the awful @WSJ piece & the editor’s doubling down of its sexism, I thought we could use a reminder about some research that exists showing that women are less likely to be addressed by their academic titles

1. A study by Dr @JuliaFiles & colleagues showed that women introduced by men were 
likely to be called DR vs men at Internal Medicine Grand Rounds (49% to 72%). Women were 
likely to use DR when introducing both women & men (98% to 95%, n=321) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28437214/

2. 8 studies by Dr. @AtirStav & Dr. Melissa Ferguson showed men are likely than women to be referred to by surname across disciplines (politics, lit, sci). & showed students are likely to refer to male professor by surname. https://www.pnas.org/content/115/28/7278

3. A study by Dr. Narjust Duma & colleagues found that women speakers at an international oncology scientific meeting were more likely to be introduced by just their first name compared with speakers that were men (n=781). https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31603705/
4. A study by Dr. Sarah Boston @DrSarahBoston & colleagues found that speakers at the American College of Veterinary Surgeons scientific conference where more likely to not be introduced by their professional title if they were women, compared to men. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32394507/
