Wouter EllenbroekToday is #InternationalWomenInScienceDay . After overhearing a conversation between students yesterday, I have a very simple request. Do not make fun of women for choosing a STEM college program, or a STEM career. They belong here, and it's not up to you to tell them they don't.
Veronika Cheplygina@wg_ellenbroek why not speak up to them? I guess they are not on here
@DrVeronikaCH As already pointed out in another reply, my post was unintentionally unclear about the fact that I did not witness the harassment itself, only an account of it. My bad.
@wg_ellenbroek ok but still why not speak up? I understand you'd have to admit to listening in, but... Really, why not?
@wg_ellenbroek I know you mean well so don't want to be adversarial. I understand now it's about one student's account of experiencing it to another student. I still think that hearing you would mean a world of a difference for these students
