Physician and behavioral scientist Dr. Peter Ubel, John O. Blackburn professor of marketing at the Fuqua School of Business, co-authored the study, published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. He recently spoke with The Chronicle’s Julian Spector about why these pay differentials persist and what to do about them.

She watches him carefully until he tosses coffee in her eyes and assaults her. That’s when she strikes back. The results of the conflict leave the man crumpled on the floor, send the woman speeding through the woods with a newfound friend in a borrowed car and propel the narrative of Haywire forward with muscular tension.
