A woman brave enough to publicly call out a Nobel Laureate is a vision for the leadership that we need.

@Iris grin… curious as I was, I started at the beginning and was presented with the finances of the matter. 😅
@Iris sigh, still a long way to go, but I do think outside german speaking country’s things are a bit better🤷🏽‍♀️
@Iris
may I live such that I may be able to publicly shame the patriarchy so
@Iris Indeed… Glad it happens, but sad how there’s this aggression when called out, like the addressee/panel member in question. 🥺
@Iris I was so impressed! Especially how she held it together when they thought that pointing at a woman (who also had immense personal privilege) would silence her.

@jnyrose I as reminded of this quote from https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02101-x

"It is just as important to denounce misogyny when it comes from unexpected sources — such as senior women who have survived the system, have internalized it and continue to replicate it."

Don’t get mad, get equal: putting an end to misogyny in science

Subtle forms of misogyny attack female leadership and coerce women to conform to conventional gender norms. It’s time to call out these behaviours, say Alison Bentley and Rachael Garrett.

@Iris Indeed, not the five people that should retire - why would the future of the discipline be shaped by them...

What a woman - being interrupted as well. They should let her lead the next panel on the future of the discipline!

@Iris This is excellent to watch. That "Let me finish" was just spot on- frustrating it was necessary but fantastic to see her keeping composure while also showing her righteous (and rightful) anger.
@Iris This “Nobel Laureate” reminds me of Shockley, or Heisenberg. Brilliance in science is no guarantee of understanding unrelated fields, such as ethics.
