The Hotties and the Notties

The Hotties and the Notties — The Monkey Cage:
"In 2006, James Felton, Peter T. Koper, John Mitchell and Michael Stinson have conducted research that sought to establish, inter alia how perceived hotness of professors affected their RateMyProfessors evaluations for teaching quality.
As part of this exercise, Felton et al. ranked (Table 2 in their paper) the relative hotness quotients of 36 different academic disciplines.
My estimable colleague Professor Sides has prepared a nice graph of the data (see below)."
