Musings of a science professor at a large research university.

Nothing to Prove
Today in Scientopia, I discuss a question from a reader -- a female science professor -- who wonders whether to serve on the PhD committee of a grad student who has openly expressed skepticism that women can/should be scientists.
I am a full professor in a physical sciences field at a large research university. I am married and have a teenaged daughter.
I have the greatest job in the world, but this will not stop me from noting some of the more puzzling and stressful aspects of my career as a science professor.
