This is amazing work. There is actually a switch we can flip to eliminate the gender gap in physics education!
Fascinating data! The article below is Open Access – anyone can read it. I've included a higher-resolution image of the authors' key data showing that when retakes are offered on physics exams, women's scores increase on the FIRST try to be equal to men's. Implications for course design are huge
