Gender Gap in intro physics is eliminated when employing retake exams because women do better on the FIRST try - suggesting exam STAKES (not differences in preparation/understanding) explain gender gap. 🧪 https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/ngrs-dxtf21 Oct 2025 18:45 +0000at://did:plc:o7n4cprcvt72ji7riyuqh3nc/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3pyhozpqs2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/cassandrapaul.bsky.social/post/3lxgkwvckxs226 of my papers were in this database.
