I have been reviewing applications for grad school and internships, and I realized lately that applications from women are typically stronger compared to applications from men. I think we self select so much that I wouldn't be surprised if those of us that make it into STEM might be on average more competent.Vered Shwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17531957962535846245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9145120678290195131.post-14717976351017770812022-02-21T00:52:33.635+02:002022-02-21T00:52:33.635+02:00The saddest thing I've found out about gender ...The saddest thing I've found out about gender inequality in STEM: I (female bioinformatician and data scientist) was quickly scanning the web for interesting blogs in the NLP field. I found this one and was about to search for the posts in topic which interests me, when I realised that an author is a female. In this brief moment I was about to close the page, and just after that I realised WHAT EXACTLY pushed me to do that. How deeply the stereotypes of female incompetence in this field are wired in our perception? I agree to most of the causes you've mentioned but I have a feeling that some of them are just disguises for a very basic belief of women being not as good as men especially in the highly professional and prestigious fields. This blog is the most competent one among all I've found.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9145120678290195131.post-23775140381968802422021-10-06T21:54:35.938+03:002021-10-06T21:54:35.938+03:00Thanks for the reference!

And yes, it would be interesting to match the results with statistics about sunlight :) As I replied to Daniel, I think I need to rerun and expand these experiments with the purpose of writing a paper about it.

(and is probably late enough to be less culture-specific than say, 6 before-morning). <br /><br />And yes, I agree. A better setup might have been to ask people to both select the ranges and name them (in English and/or in another language). The more I talk with people about it the more I convinced I am that I need to run a more rigorous experiment (and publish a paper about it).

I'm alre...Looking forward to reading your book! I'm already a fan :)<br />This post reminds me of my wife's brother, who would complain about getting woken up at 9 before-morning (לפנות בוקר). I suppose you can understand why this is humorous even if you're not a Hebrew speaker and don't know the term.<br />But it does make me think that besides budget expansion, your experiment could benefit from some more squinting and reevaluation of the setup. Namely, it seems to have an underlying assumption that the American English terms are necessary and sufficient, and that other cultures use a system that just remap the ranges. Without even mentioning using the 24-hour day or English literacy, examples like tarde or לפנות בוקר suggest the experiment could be a bit less "supervised" if that makes sense.<br />The interaction between culture and language is something I've been thinking about a lot lately, and I think we should carefully examine our implicit assumptions in that area.

For example, I'd think people's idea of "specific evening hours" (as opposed to the concept of "evening") might remain constant no matter the time of day or day in the year you'd ask them, but it might be different for people who have different amounts of annual sunlight. Some countries have large differences between their sunniest areas and least sunny areas:<br />https://www.visualcapitalist.com/world-cities-ranked-by-average-annual-sunshine-hours/<br />By the way, it seems as though Spain is sunnier than the rest of Europe which might have made a contribution to the late dinner time:<br />https://mobile.twitter.com/hcssnl/status/996674338802761728<br /><br />Also, Stefano of The Poor Man's Math Blog analyzed the difference between solar time and standard time:<br />http://blog.poormansmath.net/how-much-is-time-wrong-around-the-world<br />So I would be interested in whether the difference correlates with the differences in people's idea of the time frames the words describe. shwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744914397813357107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9145120678290195131.post-38216523594245543112021-10-05T10:38:19.146+03:002021-10-05T10:38:19.146+03:00Thank you! ☺️
