Cartoonist Sage Stossel has this entertaining take on a women in science panel discussion held at the Radcliffe Institute on March 21st…

Perhaps the most interesting part: Nancy Hopkins, the MIT biologist who walked out of Summers’ NBER talk, got a standing ovation. She said that she regretted having walked out, though. Who could blame her? She’s been pilloried as a hysterical woman for having done so…and called a feminist by Harvey Mansfield. Perhaps sometimes it takes an overreaction to draw attention to something that merits greater scrutiny.
