Abstract:
... Why do inequalities persist between male and female scientists, when the causes are well-researched and widely condemned? In part, because equality has many dimensions. Presenting eight definitions of gender equality, we show each is important but incomplete. Rigid application of any single equality indicator can therefore have perverse outcomes. ...

Abstract:
... Following the ‘rediscovery’ of Mendel’s work around 1900 the study of genetics grew rapidly and multiple new inheritance theories quickly emerged such as Hugo de Vries’ “Mutation Theory” (1901) and the “Boveri–Sutton Chromosome Theory” (1902). Mendel’s work also caught the attention of the German geneticist Valentin Haecker, yet he was generally dissatisfied the simplicity of Mendelian genetics as ...
