Choose one example of how neuroscience research reinforces gender differences and explain how it appears in this article.
· Starting from comparing across sex/gender (rather than any other comparison) enables sex/gender findings 
· Focusing on group differences obscures in-group variation and magnifies inter-group differences 
· Binary findings homogenize each group and essentializes claims (overstates shared-ness of thing)
· Essentialized claims applied to individuals
· Using brain imaging to measure sex/gender differences suggests that sex/gender differences are purely biological or found in nature (ignore’s society’s influence)
· Data is made meaningful through gender stereotypes
Choose one visual concept and explain how it works in this article to support the gender difference you identified.
· Mediation: what’s shaping how the information gets to us? (Scientific images appear “unmediated”)
· Transparency: how close does the image seem to “real life”? (Scientific images seem transparent (compared to a painting or cartoon, etc.))
· Mechanical Objectivity: the belief that machines are objective (unlike subjective people) and thus that machine-made images are more transparent than images produced by a person 
· Aesthetic Realism: artistic/visual choices that mask the process involved in producing texts to make them seem real (We learn to recognize visual signals that tell us something is “real”)
