Controversy at CERN workshop on gender and high energy physics

ilguido writes: At a workshop organised by Cern, Prof Alessandro Strumia of Pisa University said that "physics was invented and built by men, it's not by invitation", BBC reported.

Strumia's presentation, that supports the idea that "physics is not sexist against women[...] however the truth does not matter, because it is part of a political battle coming from outside", already received a lot of criticism, with one female physicist defining Strumia's analysis as "simplistic, drawing on ideas that had long been discredited".

The battle about discrimination and reverse discrimination goes on, echoing what we already witnessed with the Damore's story.
