Minorities in academia are expected to overperform, stay silent, and endure stereotypes (e.g, you don’t know how to write, are poorly educated). This is a minority tax: taking extra unpaid labour and diversity duties that don't count towards promotion.

Women with names perceived as masculine are less likely to be omitted from citations than those with feminine names. Men with feminine-sounding names are more likely to be omitted than men with masculine names, suggesting citation bias based on gender perceptions.

Did you know that the widely used method of least squares was born chasing comets?
Legendre published it in 1805 to estimate their orbits
Gauss claimed he’d used it privately since 1795
Legendre: I published it first
Gauss: I published why it works… in 1809.

In 1874, Francis Galton, father of regressions & cousin of Charles Darwin, wrote a book based on a questionnaire sent to scientists about their childhood, families and mental traits.
Praised for pioneering survey methods but criticised as paving the way to eugenics
