- A recent Chronicle article, “Women in Academic Medicine: Equal to Men, Except in Pay,” explores the pay discrepancies between the salaries of men and women in academic medicine.

DesRoches, a researcher and instructor at Harvard Medical School, one reason for the pay imbalances is that women don’t work as many hours or publish as much as men do.
