"Once we have replaced the principle of equality with the idea that humans are unequal, we have granted approval to the idea of rulers and ruled. At that point, all any of us can do is to hope that no one in power decides that we belong in one of the lesser groups."

What a great write up from Dr. HCR on this, Lincoln the Great's birfday.

11. února slavíme Mezinárodní den žen a dívek ve vědě. Připomíná nám, že věda, kreativní lidská aktivita rozšiřující naše znalosti světa kolem nás, má být pro všechny, a nemá z ní benefitovat jen jedna privilegovaná skupina lidí! Potřebujeme více žen (cis a trans) a nebinárních lidí ve vědních oborech, ať už jde o STEM či o humanitní obory.

On February 11th, we celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. It reminds us that science, a creative human activity that expands our knowledge of the world around us, should be for everyone, and should not benefit just one privileged group of people! We need more women (cis and trans) and nonbinary people in sciences, be they STEM or humanities.
