Covid-19 affected female and early-career scientists more, study shows

The SciOPS team conducted its first covid-19 survey in May 2020, with a follow-up exactly a year later. For each, we invited faculty from a random sample of 21 U.S. research universities who work in biology, engineering and biochemistry to participate in the study, and about 300 scientists responded each time. Through multiple choice and open-ended questions, the surveys asked how researchers had been affected both professionally and personally by the pandemic.
