The original article is an opinion piece by the author of a study that has been submitted to an academic journal. For all we know, the paper will crash and burn in peer review. And even if it doesn't, it still needs to be published so we can look at the methodology for cogent discussion.
So until the paper is published, there's no story here.
The underlying paper, titled "Women in Academic Science: A Changing Landscape", has been published in
Psychological Science, a leading journal. It can be downloaded freely.
