Preschool-aged kids whose parents are working class are less likely to be called on when they raise their hand compared to kids with middle/upper class occupations.
Early socialization indeed.

This is the funniest science writeup I've seen in a long time. It's about why cats are so perfectly evolved 🧪
Apparently lots of other animals have "tried to be cats" and the fact that other species have so much more variation is "because they suck" 😆

New paper with an amazing team on the allure of the meritocracy belief. Our intuition tells us that effort brings about success in life (of course it does), but this oversimplification ignores important external factors and threatens to perpetuate inequalities.
