Yeah... Not that surprising to me. TU Delft hasn't been doing so hot. They literally have it all. Corruption, harassment, nepotism. But if you are not a PhD student you shouldn't be too affected by any of these.

Love her videos! Really opened my eyes to a lot of this.

Here are two videos on that subject that are great to start out with

Sexual harassment and assault in Astronomy and Physics

women in space (but with legos so it's fun)

She’s a great science communicator. Another famous Youtuber (Captain D) called her “the Jenny Nicholson of science” her Dark Matter video is my favorite, though her Gell-Mann Amnesia video is a “must watch” imho.

But now they're all "DEI hires," at least in the US, so we're fucked over here

When I was in elementary school, we always had a table at the back where the advanced students would do more difficult stuff than the rest of the class while not being completely isolated. The table was always me and 5 or 6 girls. When we graduated high school, I was the top-ranked boy - and the 22nd-ranked student overall. I just took it completely for granted that girls were smarter than boys (although I did perceive the very strong anti-intellectual culture among boys which seemed more impactful than native abilities).

It wasn't until I went to college that I started encountering the belief that men were fundamentally smarter than women, even though every college and university I've attended had more women than male students and the women had much better academic performance. That was my first taste of the power of group delusion.

It's exactly that is why they're kept down. Tiny men are afraid that they won't seem as smart as the woman in the room.

As a man, I try to be different. I mentor the women around me and encourage them to do more, be better. I successfully got one of my mentee to negotiate her salary just yesterday even though she felt uncomfortable doing so. Try to be the change we need

Half way through the Hidden Figures movie I started to realize that the racist sexist people in charge really deserved to lose to the Russians.
