Summary

In contrast to most scientific research that goes largely unrecognized by the general public, the concept of implicit bias broke through into the public sphere. This success comes with the challenge that academic nuances and clearly stated limitations often get lost in translation. Moreover, given ongoing scientific debates about what implicit bias is and how to measure it, perhaps the phenomenon got out into public consciousness before scientists have fully understood it.
