Expanding the number of sources we check for editing and typo type blunders, welcome to Economist Watch.
On the subject of gender differences in pay in academia:
Explicable differences amounted to 77% of the overall pay gap between
the sexes. That still left a substantial 23% gap in pay, which Dr
Connolly attributes to discrimination.
Err, no. What is meant is that 77% of the observed pay gap can be explained (time off for children, all that sort of stuff) and that 23% of that observed gap was not, and should therefore be put down to discrimination.
Most certainly not that there was a 23% gap in pay.
Don’t these people have editors?
