  • Resumen

  • When the Massachusetts Institute of Technology admitted in 1999 that they had discriminated against women on its faculty, it sent shockwaves throughout institutions of higher learning across the country. In this TPWKY book club episode, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Kate Zernike joins us to discuss her book The Exceptions: Nancy Hopkins, MIT, and the Fight for Women in Science, which details the sequence of events that led sixteen scientists to demand the equality that had been denied to them for so long. Zernike, who was one of the reporters to break the story in 1999, centers this story on molecular biologist Dr. Nancy Hopkins, who, armed with a tape measure, brought this history of marginalization to light. Simultaneously personal and panoramic, The Exceptions carefully illustrates the sexism entrenched in higher education and academia and sends an important message: this problem is far from solved. Tune in for a fascinating discussion about an infuriating topic.

Objectivity

I have no idea if this review is going on the episode I'm listening to or the podcast as a whole, but this comment is for the one about women in science bringing discrimination to light in 1999. The author said something to the effect of 'if any field would be merit based, it would be science'--and I think this is the whole problem. Although we should aspire to it, no one can be totally objective. Scientists think they're objective, so they're far less likely to recognize bias in themselves or others. We need to stop holding science up as a bastion of objectivity and truth--because, as this podcast shows all the time, it's not. Everything is a humanity. Science needs to recognize its bias before it can move forward--a historian.
