Did anyone see this? A popular blogger on Science (with more than 4 million followers) is a woman. The woman herself, Elise Andrew, had no idea it was a secret, and she was "outed" when she announced her twitter account featuring a picture of herself. Apparently the bias occurred because of the swear word on her facebook page which made readers assume she was a man. Interesting conclusion! This is a facebook hype that deserves a WP page, no?
