Besides the flawed thinking of this student regarding who can perform objective investigation (e.g., just look at the past decade of veterinary college graduating classes), her “survey” was apparently not adequate.
I personally teach a biomedical sciences-listed course in contemplative tools for creative problem solving at an Ivy League university and have for the past five years. Plus there is a peer-reviewed journal article on use of these tools in biomedical science education.

But a broader range of scientific education and training would not fit her sound-bite narrative either. It’s hardly shocking that scientists would adopt a full range of tools that could support their work and careers.

What’s the point of being a feminist if you can’t go around shouting that women can do anything a man can do and better?

-- So HER attempt to use logic in HER dissertation doesn't disprove HER thesis how? --

LOL.

Maybe this is one of the "mock academia" papers that the professors give good grades to. The kind that cmes out of a gobbledygook generator.

Laura Parson, a student in the university’s education department ...

... is the kind of person who will end up being very influential in the Federal or State Department of Education.

Think about that.

Asians aren’t minorities! They’re yellowish whites.

Kinda like how a Muslim looks Hispanic when he shoots up a mall or George Zimmerman was a White Hispanic...

My original thought too - then I realized that she really is unable to think logically....

The corruption of peer review continues. Base your research on someone else’s flawed data, a la Mann, combined with government grants that want a certain result, and you get false results that compound with time.

Horrid. Just horrid.

Women and minorities cannot understand logic or objective truths,

Nonsense. I have worked with women, and with people of various racial/ethnic backgrounds, throughout my engineering career. I've seen plenty of women and "minorities" who have no trouble with logic and objective truth.

In other words, she flunked whatever science or math courses she took and just can't get over it.

This woman is saying that women (and minorities) cannot understand logic and cannot understand the immutable nature of truth.

By saying so in her dissertation to be recognized as a PhD, she uses “logic” (in her mind).

Apparently she cannot understand irony, either.

First, this doctoral student is potentially getting a degree in “education”. Second, a degree in education (especially a PhD) is worthless. Finally, her ability to think critically is severely absent. Should she get her PhD, it merely is making the BS in the world Piled Higher sand Deeper (PhD).

If science is so hard for “minorities” why are science classes and faculty filled with Asians?

Not necessarily. With tenure, the only way most professors leave a university is through retirement...

She could still poison the community colleges as an adjunct:)
