Even female researchers spend more time on domestic chores

"Because we see differences even among a select group of individuals who were smart and motivated enough to achieve elite grants from the federal government to support their career development as researchers, we have reason to worry that similarly bright and capable men and women are not succeeding at the same rate," senior author Dr. Reshma Jagsi told Reuters Health. Jagsi is a radiation oncologist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and a female physician-researcher herself. She and her team surveyed recent recipients of prestigious early-career grants, bestowed by the National Institutes of Health, for researchers with degrees in clinical medicine. Of both women and men, most were married or partnered and had children.
