I am a scientist, and I remember being at a female colleague's home in Cambridge England on the day she published an important paper in the prestigous journal nature. She took a phone call from a press reporter, who immediately asked if her husband were at home so she turned the phone over to him, only to have him explain to the reporter that indeed it was his wife that he should be interviewing. But in actual fact, I don't feel that I have experienced very much gender bias in my career. Maybe I am lucky, but its never really been an issue for me. Another funny story though, I was once accused of gender bias in a grant review. The grant applicant, not knowing her grant was reviewed by a female, complained of gender bias when it was not funded, so despite the fact that we are both women, I had to be investigated. Gladly, it was determined that I was not biased against my own gender!
