Astrophysicist Natalie Gosnell says field is riddled with ‘white supremacy’

It’s a different kind of space race.

A Colorado astrophysicist who says the field is paralyzed by “systemic racism and white supremacy” and “very violent and hyper-masculine” terminology — such as “vampire star” or “cannibal star” — is speaking out about combating these issues in the classroom and beyond.

“As an astrophysicist, I’m a product of institutions that are steeped in systemic racism and white supremacy,” Natalie Gosnell, PhD, an assistant professor of physics at Colorado College, said in an interview published in the school’s newspaper this month.

Gosnell, who holds a doctorate in astronomy from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and is a recipient of the prestigious Cottrell Scholar Award, argued that “tenets of white supremacy” like “individualism and exceptionalism and perfectionism” shape everything from the direction of physics research to the language used by scientists.

Those are called ‘stars’. They are locally dominated by ‘the Sun’.

Hey you ignorant crybaby cow! Do what a MAN would do in your claimed situation: Start you own Lab and advance your science without all these haters you claim are such a problem. (Funny this idea doesn’t occur to her).

This is the best part -- Hey Natternatternatter, Google isn't your friend. Welcome to Google cache, and your embarrassing lack of traction on Twotter or even engagement.

Enjoy that tenure track rejection!:

As usual, leftism is a system that gives people excuses and scapegoats for their own failure. That’s why it attracts the worst of the worst.

Lol…. Good reply!

I too have worked with a few physiatrists, PhD types. From my acquaintances, they have ranged from space cadets to very typical, ordinary people. Fortunately, I never crossed paths with anyone with this woman's apparent grievance mentality. What a waste.

It’s not that there’s white supremacy so much as there’s black inferiority complex that’s running rampant.

No white supremacists or supremacy of any kind there.

She’s an assistant professor at a minor college. Can’t make much of a contribution ib her field, so trying to get attention this way. She’ll be in retail or fast food shortly.

What an ungrateful & ignorant POS bitch...

A prime example of “why” there have been almost zero advances in fundamental physics for the past 60 years...

Astro Physics is a tough major. My son is one. One should strive to graduate the best and brightest. Some of the best are Chinese, Japanese and Indian. There are some that are black, but few.

I went to Pharmacy School. We had a few blacks in class. They were admitted to the School of Pharmacy on merit and not their race. That is the way it is supposed to work.

When one of your life goals is to solve a Rubiks cube I think like so many GPS car units she needs to recalculate.

She is right.

I just read an article on spaghettification of a star when it is eaten by a black hole, where the gases removed form strands that rotate around the black hole like spaghetti is wound around a fork.

How dare they use this word, especially since China invented spaghetti,

Yes I am joking.
