>“While we have not found any evidence that Sabatini discriminates against or fails to support females in his lab, we find that Sabatini’s propensity to praise or gravitate toward those in the lab that mirror his desired personality traits, scientific success, or view of ‘science above all else,’ creates additional obstacles for female lab members,” the report concluded.
Is this implying that the belief of the writers of the report is that "female lab members" struggle more than others to achieve scientific success or to view 'science above all else'?
What other reason would they consider a scientific lab leader favoring those who are committed to science and scientific success to be a hindrance to "female lab members". Or is that entirely relying on the vague first term: "personality traits".
