Someone else on mastodon found this https://masto.ai/@stavvers/112655306069874958

EDIT: they might actually be the original author of that? I can’t find this indexed anywhere else online (google, google scholar, and google books all turn up nothing or just that mastodon post)

    First of all, at best it’s tangentially related. There are a lot of steps between graduation with a collage degree (which in the U.S., let’s face it, usually means a bachelors) and being a mid career researcher.

    Second, if anything it underscores my point - that women are dropping out of academia faster than men.

    But we don’t have to speculate. We have lots of statistics about this. Women leave academia at higher rates than men. This is not really up for debate.
