Το πανεπιστήμιο σε παρακμή

Adrianus Eversen (1818-1897)

Του Νίκου Τσούλια

      Το ελληνικό πανεπιστήμιο είναι σε παρακμή. Και βρίσκεται σ’ αυτή την κατάσταση εδώ και αρκετά χρόνια και δεν είναι μόνο σύμπτωμα της γενικότερης κρίσης της χώρας μας. Ισχυρίζομαι ότι βρίσκεται σε παρακμή για τρεις κυρίως λόγους.

Why Are There Still So Few Women in Science?

At the Solvay Conference on Physics in 1927, the only woman in attendance was Marie Curie (bottom row, third from left).

Last summer, researchers at Yale published a study proving that physicists, chemists and biologists are likely to view a young male scientist more favorably than a woman with the same qualifications. Presented with identical summaries of the accomplishments of two imaginary applicants, professors at six major research institutions were significantly more willing to offer the man a job. If they did hire the woman, they set her salary, on average, nearly $4,000 lower than the man’s. Surprisingly, female scientists were as biased as their male counterparts.
