AWIS Director of Research and Analysis, Dr. Heather Metcalf, calls for objectivity in science in an article published in Scientific American: “If there’s one thing the scientific community values most, it’s objectivity. Objectivity amounts to a scientist’s ability to conduct work that is not skewed by personal, political, financial, emotional, social, and/or other biases or opinions. Often, scientists try so hard to become objective that they come to believe that they have no biases.”
