Expert Quotes

Recent quotes and/or interviews in the media from faculty

Terry McGynn“I would modify evaluation processes (grants, manuscripts, selection of faculty job interviewees, graduate school admissions) so that they are blind with respect to gender, ethnicity and institutional affiliation. There is substantial bias against women and ethnic minorities, and blind experiments have shown that removing names and institutional affiliations can radically change important decisions that shape the careers of scientists.”  –Terry McGlynn, professor of biology, who was quoted on the website Vox with 33 science professionals who were asked what they would change about science.
