[h=3]PS: Many of these critiqued studies are ones that find differences between female and male biology. Why wouldn't you expect there to be differences between men and women? They're obviously biologically different.[/h]JH: There are lots of phenomena in biology and psychology that seem really obvious and that's why we do research, to see if those obvious things actually are true.

An example I actually give is that it's obvious that the sun rotates around the Earth because every morning you see it rise in the east and every evening you see it setting in the west. So some things that seem intuitively obvious actually aren't right when you have better science to test the idea.

[h=3]Who is funding this fellowship?[/h]JH: The University of Wisconsin is one of the few gender and women's studies programs that has one of its emphases on biology. A lot of that results from one of our founding foremothers, Dr. Ruth Bleier, who was very prominent in that field. She died, unfortunately, prematurely.

What happened was we had a big bequest from the estate of a woman who really wanted to do something. She didn't specify this in postdoc particular, but wanted something along these lines. We came up with this particular idea of this feminist biology postdoc.
