L'état de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche en France - 36 la parité dans la recherche

Ministère de l'Éducation nationale, de l'Enseignement supérieur et de la RechercheL'état de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche en France constitue un état des lieux annuel et chiffré du système français, de ses évolutions, des moyens qu’il met en œuvre et de ses résultats, en le situant, chaque fois que les données le permettent, au niveau international.

36 la parité dans la recherche
En 2014, les femmes représentent 30 % de l'ensemble des personnels de recherche et un peu plus d'un quart des seuls chercheurs.

Les proportions diffèrent selon le domaine de recherche, les plus féminisés étant ceux de la médecine, de la chimie et de l'agronomie. Voir l'article...

In some countries, “homosexual acts” are criminalised and may even carry the death penalty. South Africa is the only country on the continent that has enshrined the rights of sexual minorities in its Constitution. But for many this doesn’t translate into genuine protection and support.

http://www.insidehighered.com/sites/default/server_files/styles/blog_landing/public/mama_phd_blog_header.jpg?itok=C5xGPD1aBy Rosemarie Emanuele. When I recently taught hypothesis testing in my Statistics class, I pointed out to the students that, while in some situations, we may want to be able to reject a hypothesis by finding evidence that a mean is either higher or lower than a hypothesized value, it is often the case that we approach our test with an idea of which direction in which we expect to see deviation.
