Even Female Scientist-Doctors Are Paid Significantly Less Than
Their Male PeersS  Another day, another study that proves women
get paid way, way less than men who are at the same stage in
their careers: researchers looked at female and male physician-
scientists' work hours, academic titles, specialties, ages, and
any other factors that could influence their paycheck, making
sure to only study doctors who were each other's professional
counterparts, and found that men's average yearly salaries were
at least $12,000 higher than women's.  For those of us who
aren't physician-scientists (or mathematicians): that adds up to
more than $350,000 over a 30-year career. That's almost double
the average educational debt most new doctors are saddled with
after graduating from medical school. (And no, female grads
aren't given any special deals to make up for the disparity.)
