"Our paper suggests that these broader societal classifications have historically influenced the reception of science [conducted by women]—with men's science more valued. We then ask whether these kinds of societal values about gender still influence science and scientists' credibility. Do we still privilege the heroic, risk-taking, conquest-oriented scientific projects (like data gathering in remote parts of Antarctica) over more "mundane" projects that don't involve adventure and risk into wild nature? Note that we are talking about how broader sociocultural values influence the reception and perception of science, not about individual scientists and whether their science is valuable or solid, which is not the point."
