Implicit Bias?

Two stories:


1) For the group email he sends as recipients the male professor always lists all men first, followed by females… When there are presentations every week , he schedules them, so men go first and then the ladies. Small sexism, but still!

2) When there are undergrads in my lab they always ask me “are you a master student?” The truth is, I’m a PhD student and just because I am pretty and dress well I am taken less seriously !

The story happened to me as a PhD student in the year 2014 around an academic institution in ‘Not in Belgium’
