Modern science is mostly based on discoveries by white men. Therefore, it is racist and sexist and must be replaced with a new science. Enraged by the mild deviations from liberal orthodoxy that got James Damore fired from Google, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, a physics researcher at the University of Washington, is ready to do her part:
Prescod-Weinstein takes issue with the contention—related to her by a “well-known scientist”—that “the Google memo failed to constitute hostile behavior because it cited peer-reviewed articles that suggest women have different brains,” arguing that “peer-reviewed” is not synonymous with “correct.”

Gotta keep the masses dumb.
reject all physics discovered or developed by nasty white people.
“OK, reject all physics discovered or developed by nasty white people. Maybe you can invent the wheel some day”
Africa would still be in the stone age were it not for colonization.
Yep.
If feminists truly wanted to compete on an even playing field with men, Science and Technology is the place to do it. It's completely blind to all politics.
For instance, I drove over or under a couple of dozen bridges on my way to work today. I've no idea who designed them, what they looked like, their politics, gender, or sexual orientation, and could care less. All I know is that they're probably pretty well engineered because not a one collapsed on me, and frankly, that's my #1 design concern in the bridges that I use.
But, equality is not what feminists are looking for; they're looking for dominance.
Bend the knee,or.............!
I dunno.
Back in the mid-20th century, the Nazis made a big thing about “Aryan science” versus “Jewish science”.
Now it is the leftists who are acting like Nazis, while calling their opponents “Nazis”!
PHOOEY to them all!!!!
Neil DeGrasse Tyson? That guy is a joke. That’s Google, remember. How about Newton, Leibniz, Kepler, Euler, Oppenheimer, Feynman, Brahe, von Neuman, Turing, etc. etc?
I find her as author or co-author of 21 papers. Mostly co-author. Those that she was the sole author tend to have titles like “German scientists and complicity in Nazi Germany,” “Curiosity and the end of discrimination” or “Finding the right boundaries.”
Otherwise, she’s big on dark matter and black holes.
Nope.
Just achievement.
Replace Tesla, Einstein, Planck, Volta, Ampere, Heaviside, Maxwell, Archimedes, Edison, Westinghouse, Bell, Fermi, ... ?
Lot’s of luck with that.
A friend of mine used to be a Director there. He said it’s a weird Kevin Plank cult atmosphere.
Plank hired a bunch of college buddies when he started and they form the inner circle.
If you’re not in the inner circle, good luck to you.
My friend has been in the sports apparel business for several decades and he said UA was the weirdest place he’d ever worked.
the left needs to destroy science so they can shove climate change down our throat - they push so hard
I recall Hitler banning” Jewish” science and burning books by Jewish authors and scientists.
I guess the solution is to hyphenate all of the laws of science with people of color i.e. Newtonian-Hank johnsonian law of physics as applied to the island of Guam.
>>Therefore, it is racist and sexist and must be replaced with a new science.
Climate science is the model for the “new science”. Or in language that the average SJW can read: nuSynz.
“peer-reviewed” is not synonymous with “correct.” So, after years of the intellectual slobs on the left telling us that all the science on “climate change” must be accepted because it is “peer-reviewed” (hello Ed Begley, Jr), we learn this?
The lady’s view of the issues in the memo of the fired Google employee have been studied and reported on, many times by Thomas Sowell. She calls the science in the Google employee’s memo as racist. Meanwhile I think Mr Sowell would agree with the Google employee’s memo, yet Dr Prescod-Weinstein would be hard pressed to call Mr Sowell or his work racist.
If malevolent kooks like Chanda Prescot-Weinstein decide that it makes them feel empowered to assert that 2 + 2 = 5, you had better believe it or you are a racist and a sexist and might lose your job like that thought criminal James Damore.
She was white. And worked with her husband.
Throw it out.
Yes, they did. And if they hadn't been a bunch of bloody-minded, genocidal racists THEY might have gotten The Bomb first instead of us ...
